Wharf Rats follows man/child Hughie Hackett, the son of late Paul Hackett, beloved fisherman and local legend in Split Lip Cove, PEI. Hughie has spent his life doing as little as possible without actually doing nothing at all, squandering his potential. Frustrated that his Uncle Angus, known as the best Hackett fisherman in town, a reputation secured by sabotaging his competition, is about to sell off the family fishing company, Hughie forms a misguided plan to pretend that a simple-minded man is his long-lost brother, the key to his father’s will.
