Based on the 2003 film La Grande Séduction (also called Seducing Dr. Lewis) penned by Ken Scott and directed by Jean-François Pouliot, the comedy follows a big-city physician who turns up in a harbour town that's in desperate need of a doctor.
There, a village leader (Gleeson) spurs the inhabitants into a campaign to seduce the young doctor (Kitsch) to settle permanently in the community, so the town can secure a factory to save it from financial ruin.
