  Everything had been going according to plan for Dr. Zoe Hart. 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 -- that she doesn't have the heart to be a heart surgeon -- Zoe's devastated. If she wants to get the fellowship next year, she's going to have to take a job as a general practitioner. So, this lifelong New Yorker takes a chance on an offer by a mysterious admirer -- a southern country doctor -- packs her bags, slips on her stilettos and leaves Manhattan for life on the Gulf Coast. Welcome to HART OF DIXIE, set in the lovely town of BlueBell, Alabama, where the neighbors take care of one another, the mailman knows your name, there's a parade every Tuesday ... and no one has ever seen the likes of Dr. Zoe Hart. Zoe feels the culture shock of her new surroundings immediately but the real shock comes when she learns that the doctor who invited her to BlueBell has passed away and left her with his half of the medical practice. His old-school partner, Dr. Brick Breeland, is determined to chase her out of town and his daughter, southern belle Lemon Breeland, is only too happy to help. Zoe makes some allies in town -- former football star turned mayor, Lavon Hayes; 14-year-old insta-fan, Rose Hattenbarger; and handsome lawyer, George Tucker, who's been to New York and whose confident smile makes Zoe blush. However, after she makes a big mistake as a small town doctor, fights with her sexy, bad boy neighbor, has a run-in with an alligator and finds out that George is engaged to her new nemesis, the syrupy sweet Lemon Breeland, Zoe decides to hightail it back to New York. But, in the South, things aren't always what they seem and Zoe discovers more than one reason to stick around, including that her father's footsteps may not have been the right ones to follow. Dr. Zoe Hart just might find she belongs more in this town than she ever could have imagined. Rachel Bilson (The O.C.) leads a stellar ensemble cast in this fish-out-of-water comedic drama about small-town living, big-city attitudes and complicated love triangles. HART OF DIXIE -- it's where you want to be. Come Home to CHCH this Fall. |
