The unthinkable is about to erupt in a small sleepy town in New Hampshire. James Wong-video game extraordinaire and unrelenting prankster, went back to his hometown to attend a high school friend's funeral. While there, due to a case of mistaken identity, he was asked to serve as the town's temporary doctor. Unable to reject the idea of such a delicious ruse, not to mention the high daily pay and the girl of his dream right there in town, he gladly accepted the position. There is only one problem: he's not a real doctor. Wong is consumed by all the intricacies of a day-to-day medical practice. He has discovered the fabrics and the laces of the interpersonal emotions which he has so overlooked over the years. Among friends and foes from his youthful years, he's pulling off the scam seamlessly. Just when he settles into that delicate role of a great healer in town, disaster strikes. FBI Special Agent Harry Bernard knows all about Wong's false identity. And to absolve such an offense, Wong is pressured into checking out a potential al-Qaeda terrorist in town. Antar Hannan is coming to the clinic as a first time patient. Wong will need to somehow look for a hidden scar to confirm one of the world's most wanted terrorists. During the investigation, an extremely sinister plot is uncovered. Aside from a personal vendetta, Antar is planning to assassinate the Democratic Presidential nominee so as to incite civil unrest in the United States. In the end, Wong is being hunted by both the town's overzealous sheriff, and the ruthless terrorist, Antar Hannan. The seemingly benign hoax is now crashing down on Wong. Will he get to live another day?
