From his post behind the bar at Quinn's Pub, Mike Lee holds together the Genesee neighborhood he grew up in, an upstate New York town that has seen better days. When his friends throw him a surprise 50th birthday party, the celebration is interrupted by a robbery with explosive results. Mike knows he must take action to protect the neighbors he considers family. He decides to run for mayor against a callous incumbent. Mike and his team of crusaders take on the established order the only way they know how, with determination and a lot of pints. He is thrown into an uproarious world of retribution, espionage, vendettas, and lands in the national spotlight.
