Welcome to Crusty Isle where local hero Harry Krabbe loves his simple life but yearns for something more. The community’s lives are turned upside down when visiting scientist Izzy Mundt and developer Billy Divagio arrive with plans to transform Crusty Isle into “LobsterWorld” – a research institute/theme park. Will the town become a tourist trap? Will they sell their soul for a chance at progress? Change is on the horizon which could spell trouble for this small coastal community.

Should they let a little thing like the truth get in their way?
