As hardworking as he is eccentric, Dr. Pol is nothing short of a local legend within the community thanks to his old school, no-nonsense approach to animal care. As the clinic's 30th anniversary approaches, the Pols plan an old-fashioned pig roast for their employees, longtime clients and former colleagues. Among the special guests is their son Charles, who lives in Los Angeles and decides to extend his stay so he can help his father with his formidable workload.

This caseload could be a struggle for vets half his age, but Dr. Pol takes it all in stride. Meanwhile, Charles, who's visiting from LA, gains a renewed respect for his dad as he watches him navigate the emotional and physical demands of working as a farm vet.
