The mayor of Fulton Springs, Alabama, has one thing on his mind:
His reelection, and the money and power that come with it. He's an
old pro in the political game and quick to sell out the public to
special interests if the price is right. He says all his decisions
are made in the best interest of his citizens, so they should just
shut up and follow the rules. Restaurant owner, Frank Standish, is
tired of having his business hamstrung by all the new taxes and
regulations that crop up at each city council meeting helmed by the
mayor's lackeys. The cronies in office are choking off his
livelihood and stomping on his freedom. So Frank decides to do
something about it. Backed by a surge of grassroots support, Frank
and his family and friends at The Bull, a local bar and barbecue
pit, mount a blue-collar revolt against government run amok. Frank
runs on a groundbreaking political platform: a promise to serve
only a single term on behalf of the freedom-loving citizens of
Fulton springs, imposing his own strict term limit to insulate
himself from the influence of outside interests. His strategy
resonates wildly with the voters who orchestrate an underdog
campaign to unseat the mayor - a concerted effort that refuses to
be silenced by slanderous propaganda, corrupt authority, vindictive
police or even bullets from a gun. With a red-hot rebellious streak
steeped in rich southern tradition, this is the story of Frank
Standish and company, who are sick of the city telling them what to
do. And they plan to make a change, whether the mayor likes it or
not.
