Synopsis:
Film director MARK BRADY is on a collision course
with personal and professional self-destruction. His
reputation in tatters, Mark is little more than a
drunken party boy, hungry for anything that will make
his days and nights slip by painlessly.
But he's given a “last chance” to rehabilitate
himself and his career. An “Adventure Television”
Network hires him to direct a fishing show set in
the stunning scenery of the Scottish Borders. There
are two conditions: he can’t booze it up, and
he must pamper to the show’s temperamental star,
TAYA HONEYWELL - his ex-wife.
Once in Scotland, everything that can possibly go
wrong goes wrong.
Taya's antics drive the fishing guide or “ghillie”
to quit, and an extraordinary dry spell creates the
lowest water levels in years. There are no fish to
be found in Scotland, let alone to be caught and photographed.
But the Scottish ladies want to do more than photograph
Mark.
Under pressure and in the midst of chaos, Mark struggles
to persevere, but the fine Scottish whisky and lovely
Lowland lasses lead him back to his old ways.
Mark opts for a “quick fix, poaches a fish
and stages a catch for the camera. But the scheme
goes horribly and hilariously awry as he's “busted”
by a most untraditional ghillie: the beautiful, gifted
and sensible single mom NICKI McADAM.
Mark's shocked to discover that he's actually attracted
to the simplicity and warmth of Nicki’s quiet
rural life which she shares with her enchanting young
daughter, JENNY. Mark hesitatingly opens the door
to his own heart and the two start to break through
their personal barriers and draw closer to each other.
They're falling in love, but there's still no fish.
Then the skies open up and heavy rain recharges the
rivers. Mark starts shooting the final segment of
the series on a rushing stretch of the River Tweed
with Nicki. Trying to keep Jenny from slipping into
the river Mark falls into the churning water. Nicki
dives in to save him and both are swept unto the rocks
but finally reach safety.
The shoots over, and Mark’s still in love.
Yet he can’t make a life changing decision overnight.
He leaves without saying a word. Once back home in
British Columbia he realizes that he is really lost.
He yearns for the love he shared with Nicki and Jenny
and the meaning that they brought to his life.
He picks himself up, turns his back on the bottle,
this time for good, and edits what he managed to shoot
into a fast-paced and funny reality outdoor show that
the Adventure Network immediately orders for two years.
With his career back on track, Mark makes a dramatic
return to Scotland to savour life and love with his
new family.
