Following the adventures of a bunch of nobodies who get up to a whole lot of nothing in the fictional prairie town of Dog River, Saskatchewan, Corner Gas focuses on the life (or lack thereof) of Brent LeRoy, proprietor of a gas station that is the only stop for miles around and a hub of action on the Prairies.

A girl meets up with a guy for a weekend of talk and action, with complex revelations of character occurring in the rather strange situations in which they find themselves.
