Conceited, narcissistic, manipulative, exploitative, arrogant−take your pick of the best adjectives to describe hyper sexed, bisexual Cam, the Seaside Singer’s founder and Chorus Master, as he admires his near perfect physique while soaping up in the shower before dressing to conduct a rehearsal for the chorus’ holiday concert. Dressing in a seductive outfit, Cam reflects on the sexual proclivities and failings of the singers, singling out a strikingly handsome Russian base, Peter, as his target for the evening. After failing to seduce any of the choristers at a bar many in the group went to for drinks following the rehearsal, Cam returned home for a melancholy soak in a hot tub. A sensual reminiscence about a three-way with an Italian tenor and his wife in the hot tub lead Cam into melancholic wonderings about his recent failures to seduce choristers.
The Chorus Master is equally unsuccessful after several subsequent rehearsals. Focused on his inexplicable−to the narcissist−sexual frustration, he was unaware of increasing dissension in the singers’ ranks due to his abhorrent behavior. Ultimately, Peter takes Cam aside and details the issues threatening to destroy the chorus or result in a coup ousting Cam as the group’s leader. Only if Cam behaves professionally, Peter tells the Chorus Master, can the situation be turned around. Cam’s fate and that of the Seaside Swingers depend on his behavior at the two rehearsals before the concert and the audience’s reaction to the holiday program.
