s. 1, ép. 1: Death arrives on the Greyhound bus in the small town of Shuckton, Ontario at the same time that the townsfolk and the Mayor await news on their bid for the next Olympics. We meet the townsfolk of Shuckton: Crim, the germ-gel smoking town ne'er-do-well; Doc Porterhouse, the friendly town abortionist; Marnie, the loveable pizza delivery woman with the 'fuzzies'; Mayor Larry Bowman and his wife Marilyn, a 'secret drinker'; the Shuckton Action News team; and Ricky, a 600-lb ex-hockey star. Mayor Bowman has an ominous visit from the past.
