Fresh out of Columbia medical school, Dr. Joel Fleischman is sent from New York City to Cicely, Alaska, where the state scholarship that paid his tuition requires him to open a practice in a town unlike anything he expected. Rob Morrow is Joel, a young physician trying to treat patients while adjusting to moose sightings, isolation, and the rhythms of an eccentric small community. Around him, Barry Corbin and Janine Turner help define Cicely’s mix of dry humor, local rituals, and the steady friction between an urban outsider and residents who have no interest in changing for him.
