 An idealistic banker (Lothaire Bluteau) in the small town of Conquest, Saskatchewan (pop. 124) tries to make the small town work even though much of its youth has moved away. When a young woman s car breaks down in the town, he convinces her (Tara Fitzgerald) to take charge of the local hardware store in exchange for the cost of the repairs. The result is a light romantic comedy with a message about the state of rural communities.
