It's hard to make a living in a tiny fishing village in the Canadian North. Jobs are practically non-existent unless you move away to the fast-paced city. Raise money (and, in this case, seduce a doctor) is the only way to keep the community alive. There are many films with this same premise--The Full Monty springs to mind-- but this film offers a different locale and flavor of humor. Nice and refreshing.
