A rising heart surgeon's life takes a turn he never expected, everything comes crashing down, and he finds himself a former big-city doctor turned small-town doctor.

After a spectacular fall from grace, high-flying heart surgeon Dr. Hugh Knight receives a life-changing punishment from the Medical Tribunal: he is forced to work for a year as a country GP in his former hometown, Whyhope. "Doctor Doctor" follows Hugh's attempt to rebuild his world in the town which he has spent his whole life trying to escape. Now the only way to salvage his brilliant career is to work as a lowly GP in an under-resourced small-town hospital, surrounded by estranged family, former friends, crazed colleagues, oddball patients, jealous brothers, and a newly-married ex-girlfriend.
