"A Longshot Out of the Birdcage" is a crime drama comic set in 1952 New Jersey. It tells the story of Henrietta “Henry” Roth and Nicolasia “Nicky” Flores - butch lesbians who carve out a living waiting tables for a mob-run nightclub. With Birdie, the club’s matriarch, looking to legitimize alongside her conniving majordomo Dick, Henry is on the prowl for a way to prove her worth, and escape the bottomless debt she owes to the family.
But when one vicious night puts both the underworld and the law at their throats, Henry must find her own way out - and decide if it's worth leaving Nicky behind.
