Andrew Brown's (Treat Williams, Hollywood Ending, The Late Shift) own life changed forever the day his loving wife died. Up until then, he was a world-renowned neurosurgeon whose career always overshadowed his obligations as a parent. When he was faced with the daunting task of raising his two kids, pre-teen Delia (Vivien Cardone, A Beautiful Mind) and teenage Ephram (Gregory Smith, The Patriot) by himself, Andrew traded in the New York skyline for the breathtaking vistas of the Rockies to settle in Everwood, Colorado, a charming and picturesque little town tucked in among majestic snowy peaks.
When Dr. Brown opened a free clinic for the citizens of Everwood, popular opinion was that he had lost his mind, but that didn't stop one local character, Edna (Debra Mooney, Tootsie), from applying for a job as his nurse and office manager. While Edna and her husband, school bus driver Mr. Irv (John Beasley, The Apostle), welcomed Dr. Brown, the person most disturbed by the new clinic was Edna's son and the only other doctor in town, Dr. Harold Abbott (Tom Amandes, television's The Untouchables). Dr. Abbott quickly forbade his teenage children, Amy (Emily VanCamp, Glory Days) and Bright (Chris Pratt) to have anything to do with the Brown family.
Despite Dr. Abbott's attempts to keep the families apart, Ephram Brown fell for Amy Abbott the first time he saw her. He soon learned that she was obsessed with her boyfriend Colin Hart (Mike Erwin), who remained in a coma after a traffic accident left him with a serious brain injury. For Amy, the arrival of Ephram's father - the country's most respected brain surgeon - seemed like a gift from heaven.
Dr. Brown finally agreed to use his skill to try and repair Colin's brain damage and bring him out of the coma, and the results seemed to be a true miracle. It wasn't long, however, until Colin was suffering from seizures, and Dr. Brown knew that another surgery was needed. This second operation would be even more dangerous than the first, and, as Dr. Brown explained to Colin and his parents, the odds were not good.
As season two begins, everyone in town must deal with the aftermath of Colin's surgery. Also this season, both Ephram and Bright will face decisions about college, and both boys will find their choices to be at odds with the plans their fathers have for them. Ephram's future as a concert pianist will also reach a turning point and become a source of conflict in the Brown family.
Dr. Brown will continue to offer medical services to the townspeople. He will treat a teenage girl when her breast implants rupture, deal with prescription anti-depressants and discover a sex club whose surprisingly young participants are not interested in practicing safe sex. As he helps his neighbor, Nina Feeney (Stephanie Niznik, Guardian Angel, Vanishing Son), through her divorce, Dr. Brown will become romantically involved for the first time since his wife died, though he will worry about the affect his relationship will have on his children. Dr. Abbott will also face changes when his estranged sister, Dr. Linda Abbott (Marcia Cross, Melrose Place) returns from her work abroad to join the family practice.
