Wharf Rats

Comedy series set in the imaginary fishing village of Split Lip Cove, Prince Edward Island. The show revolves around Hughie and Martin Hackett, idiot brothers with big dreams of becoming rich and famous fishermen … without the work, brains, and boat needed. After their father dies suddenly and leaves them the boat, Hughie and Martin finally think they have a shot at getting off the wharf and into the ocean. But when the brothers lose the boat in a drunken incident and mom throws them out of the house, Hughie and Martin find themselves stranded on the wharf and forced to fend for themselves for the first time in their lives.
