Η ζωή στην Πεζούλα και τη Βρυσούλα κυλούσε αρμονικά. Βοηθάει βέβαια το ότι υπήρχε ένας τοίχος ανάμεσα στα δύο χωριά, χτισμένος από άκρη σε άκρη, κι έτσι κανείς δεν ανακατευόταν στη δουλειά του άλλου. Όταν όμως έρχεται ο Καλλικράτης να ενώσει τα δυο χωριά, έρχονται τα πάνω-κάτω! Ένας μεγαλοδημοσιογράφος πεθαίνει, το εργοστάσιο βιολογικού καθαρισμού διχάζει, ο υπουργός λαδώνεται, οι μίζες πάνε κι έρχονται, το ΣΔΟΕ ανακατεύεται, οι άνθρωποι της νύχτας ενοχλούνται, ατομικά και τοπικά συμφέροντα μπλέκονται, ενώ οι εκπλήξεις και οι ξεκαρδιστικές καταστάσεις διαδέχονται η μία την άλλη...
