Life partners Delmer and Marta of First Nations descent have moved from the "Rez" - the Moon Moose First Nation - to the "big city" of Morningside. Unlike their plan which was for Delmer to get a job in the Alberta oil patch, Marta, sincere to a fault, has become the household breadwinner being the accidental lifestyle host of the local television morning news program, Good Morning Morningside, while Delmer supports her in any way he can, which generally means not very often in a practical way despite his good intentions. Their life in Morningside is an interesting one if only in dealing with their friends and colleagues: Tom Bobadell, their mechanic/cowboy neighbor, Delmer's new best friend and an emotional wreck of a man; Creston, the show's self-absorbed and control-freak of a producer; the show's news co-hosts, ultra-ambitious Lisa Irons and deer-in-the-headlights Chad Hunter; sarcastic and acerbic-tongued Lloyd, the show's floor manager; and the station's interns, Wesley, always searching for love despite his awkward ways, and impressionable Keltie, who is always aiming to please without always achieving the desired result.

Marta may regret accepting Delmer's help in suggesting she interview Tom in this week's "Local Yokel" segment to talk about his Popsicle stick sculptures, as Tom, on air, turns into an emotional wreck, instead focusing on his wife leaving him. To the contrary, Creston uses this specific show as the Good Morning Morningside's Gupter TV Awards - nicknamed the Guppies - submission due to the fan response to Tom, resulting in several nominations for the show, including best morning host nominations for both Lisa and Marta. Hearing that it is a formal event, Delmer, not wanting to embarrass Marta, accepts Tom's offer for a suit to wear to the awards ceremony. Although not a suit person, the suit itself transforms Delmer into a high powered mover and shaker, which is only exacerbated by Creston wanting to change the focus of the show. Will a transformed Delmer forget about all the little people, including Marta, in the process? Meanwhile, ultra competitive Lisa wants her and Marta to be up front and open about their feelings in competing for the same award, those feelings which may not be quite the same between the two women, while Chad has his own feelings about being excluded from the nominations. And as Creston wants all the staff to attend the awards ceremony, Wesley takes a chance in asking Max to go with him on what he doesn't want to call a date if only to remove any pressure from himself in making it a date-like evening.
