As Bees in Honey Drown is the story of “hot, young novelist” Evan Wyler (Andrew Zox) whose first novel has received critical acclaim. When the fabulous and mysterious Alexa Vere De Vere (Kari L. Ginsburg) approaches Wyler, about writing the screenplay of her bizarre life story, he is taken in by her charm and apparent connections. She leads him on a whirlwind tour of the “it” crowd and A-list places peopled by models, rock stars, actors and the powerful (sixteen roles played by an ensemble of four actors; Heather Haney, Jon Townson, Sarah Ellis and Gerald B. Browning), promising him a future of Armani suits and success. In the course of their adventures gay Evan falls in love with Alexa who is described as “pure confection” and “a mixture of every woman you’ve ever loved in a movie.”
