Synopsis:
Upon graduation from medical school, 27-year-old doctor Joel Fleischman (Rob Morrow) must work off $125,000 worth of student loans by accepting a practice in Anchorage, Alaska. Having seldom ventured any farther than the boundaries of his native Manhattan, Joel balks at this assignment but is threatened with a $10,000 fine and 18 years in jail if he refuses. Resigning himself to Anchorage, Joel shows up in the Alaskan metropolis but is told that his services are not required. Furthermore, he has been transferred to the remote village of Cicely--population 815, mostly eccentrics and oddballs. The fish-out-of-water Joel swiftly makes the acquaintance of his new neighbors, including attractive mail pilot--and his landlady--Maggie O'Connell (Janine Turner); Maurice Minnifield (Barry Corbin), the worldly ex-astronaut who owns Cicely; Maurice's ultra-macho best friend, 62-year-old tavern owner Holling Vicoeur (John Cullum); Maurice's fiancee, 18-year-old beauty queen Shelly (Cynthia Geary); Maurice's assistant, Ed Chigliak (Darren E. Burrows); a laid-back Native American (and aspiring filmmaker) who seems to know everything there is to know; and Chris Danforth (John Corbett), the enigmatic, poetic morning DJ at local radio station KBHR. After several harrowing and mind-numbing experiences both personal and professional, poor Joel throws a tantrum and declares, "I will under no condition, NO condition, spend the best years of my life in the worst place on Earth!".
