Alec lives a broken life in London with gambling debts over his ears. Suddenly he is contacted by an unknown uncle who offers to pay all his debts if he goes and lives in the uncle's house in Nova Scotia, Canada, for a whole year. Once there, Alec discovers that the town believes he is a healer who can cure their ailments. He gets help from the town's veterinarian, Cecilia.
A real feel-good film about how a broken person becomes whole. Also a fairly funny movie in parts that was better than I thought.
