Smug, urbanite plastic surgeon Bill Shore begrudgingly agrees to accompany his wife and two children to a remote island in the Northumberland Strait populated by oddballs in an attempt to save his marriage.
A local island festival finds Bill convinced the townspeople are going to sacrifice him, Kate pursuing Ben with embarrassing results and Harvey going it alone in a three-legged race. Meanwhile things heat up between Lisa and Duncan.
Bill is tasked with saving the island by helping a disgruntled patient threatening to sue the community find true love with the local shop girl; a beach rendezvous between Lisa and Duncan does not go unwitnessed.
