Stuck in a rut of haircuts, hot dogs, and horse books, a small time barber lives every day like a warmed-over version of the last. Hit with the unexpected death of his long time partner and last apparent friend, he faces losing the only thing in life he's got left - his barbershop. In order to keep it, he is forced to hire the last person on earth he would ever imagine working there, a spitfire young girl who suddenly finds herself unable to take no for an answer. This is the humorous, sweet story of two unlikely people offered a second chance in one unlikely place - The Village Barbershop.
