Where heartbreak meets humor, glitter becomes armor, and starting over becomes a revolution. Welcome to Spicyville — a neighborhood stitched together by gossip, grit, and glam. Behind every manicured lawn hides a secret, and at the center of it all stands Spicy Sal: real-estate investor, roast master, accidental life coach, and the unapologetic force of nature proving that being “too much” is exactly enough. After losing everything that once defined him, Sal rebuilds his life one rhinestone at a time inside his tiny duplex — part sanctuary, part stage, part chaotic temple of reinvention. But when the merciless SHADE Committee tries to shut down his joy (and his parties), Sal refuses to go quietly. With his tiara-wearing confidante Cocoa the Queen — a dog with a judgmental stare sharp enough to slice a soul — and Ridnaj, the soft-spoken handyman who fixes more than broken tiles, Sal discovers that healing is messy, hilarious, and always worth the glitter. This is a story about queer identity, found-family, self-love, joy, and choosing your sparkle even when the world goes dim.
