Pero como sus sueños se desmoronan, la joven médica decide aceptar una oferta de un extraño para trabajar en su pequeña consulta en Bluebell, Alabama, más famosa por sus helados que por sus hospitales. Zoe aterriza en esta diminuta ciudad costera sólo para adivinar que el doctor que la ha contratado en realidad ha muerto, y que además le ha dejado la mitad del negocio como herencia sin ni siquiera conocerla. Pronto descubre que la hospitalidad del sur de EE UU no es siempre tan buena como la pintan. El otro médico de la ciudad, Brick Breeland, no está nada conforme en compartir su consulta con ella, y a su hija, la guapísima Lemon (Jaime King, Sin City , The Spirit , Pearl Harbor ), se le quita todo el candor y la dulzura nada más conocerla. Los únicos aliados de Zoe son el alcalde de Bluebell, el ex jugador de fútbol americano Lavon Hayes (Cress Williams, Urgencias , Friday Night Lights ), su vecino malote Wade Kinsella (Wilson Bethel, The First Ride of Wyatt Earp , Generation Kill ), y el apuesto abogado George Tucker (Scott Porter, Blake Calamar en The Good Wife y Jason Street en Friday Night Lights ), que además resulta ser el prometido de Lemon.

It aired on NBC from 1991 to 1993 and starred Regina Taylor as Lilly Harper, a black housekeeper for the family of district attorney Forrest Bedford, whose name is an ironic reference to Nathan Bedford Forrest, the founder of the Ku Klux Klan.
