On his 50th birthday, shy, handsome Brent Wallace-salon owner and avid fisherman-makes an offer on an old building in a northern Wisconsin town. He plans to open several small businesses allowing him to semi-retire minutes from his favorite fishing hole, where the walleye are always biting, and the resident crow keeps him company.
But the building's owner, 83-year-old Grace Havisto-who has a life-sized Elvis propped on her couch and a doorbell that plays A Hunk A Hunk Of Burnin' Love-insists it must be re-opened as a grocery store, although the town already has one.
Her realtor, Dana Novicki-a pierced, tattooed, purple-haired Mensa member who dresses in thrift-store-purchased formal wear-is desperate for a sale, has clearly not read the realtor's code of ethics, and just happens to notice Brent's resemblance to Elvis Presley.
After the building is his, Brent realizes he has inadvertently deceived Grace, but circumstances forcing him to rely on her generosity make it difficult to come clean. Meanwhile, Dana has become more annoying yet invaluable, there's no time to fish, and the one woman he actually wants in his life will have nothing to do with him.
