Saugatuck Cures is an American comedy-drama film. It was written by Jay Paul Deratany, directed by Matthew Ladensack, and stars Max Adler, Danny Mooney, and Judith Chapman.
Plot
Saugatuck Cures follows a widowed bed and breakfast owner, Maggie Callaghan (Judith Chapman), living in Saugatuck, Michigan dealing with a second round of cancer. When she can't afford treatment, Maggie's gay son Drew (Max Adler) becomes determined to raise money for her treatment, yet doesn't have the slightest idea of how to do it.
After a falling out with his affluent sister, Penelope, a religious conservative, Drew is convinced by his eccentric, best friend Brett (Danny Mooney), who is straight, to pose as ex-gay ministers in order to raise the money by "converting" homosexuals into heterosexuals! The two friends set forth on a crazy adventure, getting into a lot of trouble with the law, family conflicts and not knowing if they will have enough time to save mom.
