This quirky comedy is set against the background of a sleepy little fishing village, that is on the decline. In order to persuade a company to set up their factory in the village, thereby creating much-needed jobs, certain criteria need to be fulfilled. One of these include the presence of a resident doctor. Will the villagers succeed in luring an innocent doctor into their web of deceit? Can they all unite to ensure that the factory is setup in their village, against all odds?
