After two terms in the White House, former US President Monroe Cole (Kim Hackman) moves to a small town on the coast of New Zealand, where he wants to write his memoirs and enjoy his leisure life after retirement. The town is actually his hometown, Mooseport, Maine. Monroe, the former president who had planned to spend his twilight years, was elected as a candidate by his neighbors and urged him to be their new mayor. Maybe it was the love of merit created by his political career, maybe he couldn't accept the loss of focus, or maybe he really wanted to do something for the neighborhood. Monroe promised his neighbors and threw himself into the mayoral campaign. No, handy Harrison (Ray Romano), the owner of a local hardware store, did not buy him and openly opposed his campaign. How could Monroe, a former president who had conquered the United States, stand capsizing in an unnamed town? So he began to use all the means he had learned in his political career to compete with his opponents. No, he disrupted the lives of the local people by doing so, and his leisurely retirement became the most important thing in his life.
