As a transplanted New York heart surgeon, Dr. Zoe Hart feels the culture shock of her new general practice in BlueBell Alabama, but perhaps she just might belong in this community more than she could ever have imagined.

Everything had been going according to plan for fast-talking New Yorker Zoe Hart (series star RACHEL BILSON). Beautiful, privileged and talented, she was on her way to becoming a heart surgeon, just like her father. But when she’s told she doesn’t have the requisite bedside manner to get an important fellowship she was counting on getting — that she doesn’t have the heart to be a heart surgeon — Zoe’s devastated. Desperate, she decides to finally accept the offer of a kindly stranger, Dr. Harley Wilkes (guest star NICHOLAS PRYOR – Beverly Hills, 90210), whom she met at her medical school graduation, and who had proposed she join his small medical practice in Bluebell, Alabama.

To make matters worse, the town’s golden boy, George Tucker, informs Zoe that contractually she needs to bring in 30 percent of the business or Dr. Brick Breeland (recurring guest star TIM MATHESON) will have the option to buy out her half of the medical practice.
