Set in the tiny, economically depressed fishing village of Tickle Head, Newfoundland, the residents find themselves in a desperate situation: they must secure a full-time resident doctor to qualify for a lucrative factory contract that could save their community. When fate brings the young, big-city doctor Paul Lewis to the harbor for a one-month trial, the unemployed fisherman Murray French leads the town in a massive, coordinated deception. To "seduce" him into staying permanently, the locals tap his phone to learn his interests, pretend to love cricket, and even plant money for him to find on the street. This heartwarming and witty comedy explores the lengths to which a community will go to preserve its dignity and future, blending dry humor with a poignant look at rural survival.
