* ChekhovsGunman: The mayor is a rare example of the trope where the character's introduction and "gunman" moments both take place within the first fifteen minutes. The mayor leaves town within the first couple of scenes to take a job in another town, which initially just seems like a way to symbolize the DyingTown nature of Tickle Head. However, two scenes later, the former mayor encounters Dr. Lewis at his new job and sends Lewis to Tickle Head, kicking off the town's eponymous "seduction" of Lewis.

However, since the cod fish ran out, business in town has dried up. Nowadays, the townsfolk get all their money from welfare checks, and most of the young residents have left for work in St. John's across the bay.
However, not all hope is lost for the residents of Tickle Head. The mayor has been negotiating to have a petrochemical facility built in the town. However, one of the conditions is that the town needs a doctor, which they've been trying to obtain (unsuccessfully) for the past 8 years.
Lucky for them, they eventually find their doctor when Dr. Paul Lewis (Taylor Kitsch) is detained at the airport after cocaine is found in his luggage. The agent, the former mayor of Tickle Head, agrees to overlook this discovery if Paul will live in Tickle Head for one month.
From there, Murray French (Brendan Gleeson) convinces the rest of the townsfolk to try to "seduce" John into wanting to stay in Tickle Head, permanently, thus ensuring that the town gets the facility. With that plan in mind, the townsfolk go along with his plan to make Tickle Head Dr. Lewis' kind of town.
