Chef Dave Purcell (William Hurt) is at the end of his rope--his marriage has just ended and his restaurant is failing miserably. Luckily for Dave, his wacky, scheming neighbor and friend, Alphonse (Andy Jones), has cooked up a scheme to drum up business for his eatery. After the two men fake the sighting of a rare bird near the restaurant, hungry birdwatchers are soon lining up in droves! In the spirt of LOCAL HERO, director Sturla Gunnarsson populates this small Newfoundland town with eccentric, yet believable characters, creating a tight balance of sweetness and comedy.
