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.

Together they stretch the limits of having fun and what used to be acceptable in Joe's predictable life. They secure the job of painting a friend's house with his father paying them with a keg of beer per side finished, vaulting them to the top of the neighborhood social party strata. Everything Joe hoped for was in motion except his biggest goal, finding a girlfriend. Through a quirk of fate, war and magic, a stranger arrives in Genesee and changes everything.
