After Martin invites Louisa to watch the annual bird migration over Port Wenn, he treats an elderly woman whose hallucinations lead to dire consequences. Meanwhile, Aunt Sarah fumes after the reading of a will leaves her nothing and Martin must perform an emergency procedure on his young friend.
Martin Best is a brilliant surgeon who abruptly leaves his illustrious career in Boston to become the general practitioner in a quaint East Coast fishing village where he spent summers as a child. Unfortunately, Martin's blunt and borderline rude bedside manner rubs the quirky, needy locals the wrong way, and he quickly alienates the town, even though he's all they've got.
