Welcome to Mooseport

Former President Monroe 'Eagle' Cole moves to his vacation home in Mooseport, Maine. This decision stems from his wife's claim on their mansion as part of their ongoing divorce settlement, prompting a significant lifestyle change for Cole.

As Cole settles into Mooseport, he begins to focus on his new life. His plans include writing his memoirs, participating in corporate speaking engagements, and constructing a Presidential library, reflecting on his successful tenure with an impressive approval rating.

The unexpected death of Mooseport's mayor leaves a vacancy that the town's leaders seek to fill. They consider Cole as a potential candidate, recognizing his political background and public appeal.

Initially hesitant, Cole agrees to run for mayor, compelled by motivations related to his divorce case. His candidacy adds a layer of complexity to his life as he faces new challenges within local politics.

Cole discovers that his opponent for the mayoral position is Harold 'Handy' Harrison, a local hardware store owner. Harrison had only entered the race due to the lack of interest from other candidates and is seen as a friendly competitor.

In a twist of fate, Cole accidentally asks Harrison's girlfriend out on a date, unwittingly escalating the competition. This incident adds personal stakes to the electoral race, straining relationships in the small town.

Realizing the seriousness of the challenge presented by Harrison, Cole decides to ramp up his campaign efforts. He hires a campaign manager and delves deep into campaign strategies, reflecting his determination to win.

Cole invests millions into advertising to promote his candidacy. The extensive promotional efforts create a stark contrast with Harrison's more grassroots approach, highlighting the divide between the two candidates.

As the election campaign intensifies, tensions rise between Cole and Harrison. Their personal lives become increasingly intertwined as both men navigate the implications of their respective relationships and ambitions.

Despite his history of electoral success, Cole finds himself facing a formidable challenge. The townsfolk are charmed by Harrison's straightforward nature, which poses a significant risk to Cole's political aspirations.

Cole begins to engage with the community as part of his campaign efforts. He attends town events and interacts with locals, trying to win over undecided voters in an effort to secure his political future.

As the election date approaches, both candidates ramp up their campaigns in dramatic fashion. The pressure mounts for Cole as he juggles his public image against the backdrop of his personal struggles.

Election Day arrives, and the tension in Mooseport reaches a fever pitch. Cole's popularity as a former president clashes with Harrison’s endearing local persona, leaving the outcome uncertain.

Following the election results, both candidates must face the consequences of their campaigns. The outcome shapes their futures and the community of Mooseport in unexpected ways.
