SYNOPSIS:
A Lick and a Prayer is a short form scripted comedy series set in the hardworking Lobster fishing port of North Rustico, Price Edward Island. The show features two cantankerous, and wise cracking siblings whose wild antics alienate them from their neighbours and family. Buzz and Mack are in their late 50’s and both are recently widowed. But, instead of facing their grief they turn to mischief instead. Without their partners keeping an eye on them these two rabble rousers find themselves in all kinds of trouble. Because for the first time in their lives they are starting to see that their perfect little seaside town ain’t so perfect after all. In fact, there seems to a growing criminal underbelly of greasy crooks and seedy CFA’s (Come From Aways). The problem is no one else in town seems to notice. Not even the police. With their suspicions growing the two decide to take matters into their own hands…
In this five-episode story arc our bumbling duo will face-off against a new adversary each week. And as hard as they try to solve the mysteries they uncover, they just seem to make everything worse. To catch these crooks, they will need to overcome the challenges of their aging bodies, their lack of tech skills, and will need to lean on the eccentric secondary characters that make up their colourful village.
Although the premise may seem a little dark this will be a heart-warming buddy comedy with a salty east coast bite. Humour drive each episode and the laughs come from these vibrant and fully formed characters.
