In this mocumentary, Kevin Smith plays himself covering the story of a New Zealand town after the discovery that a local shellfish, the geoduck (pronounced "gooey duck") has the properties of Viagra.  As the locals begin to realize that there is serious money to be made, everybody tries to get a piece of the action.
