Welcome to Eldorado, a small mountain town in the Kootenays, chock-a-block with pot-smoking hippies, eccentrics, loggers, and protestors. When Roy Breen moves to Eldorado after over a decade of working as a journalist in Vancouver, he is impressed by the soaring vistas and the friendliness of the townsfolk, as well as the quality of the coffee they pour. Unfortunately the threat of cutbacks is looming over the local hospital and Roy must choose whether to keep his journalistic integrity intact or to join his new neighbours in fighting to keep the hospital open.
