Premise

The series stars Ewanuick as Dan, a slacker in his early 30s, who finds himself running for mayor of Wessex, a fictitious city in Ontario, in the 2010 municipal elections, after a chance comment. When his opponent, incumbent mayor Bud, is hit by a bus and killed, Dan becomes the only mayoral candidate whereupon he reopens the candidacy for a fair race. In the show's second season, Dan takes office as the city's new mayor, finding himself woefully unprepared for the job.

The cast also includes Mary Ashton, Paul Bates, Benjamin Ayres, Laurie Murdoch, and David Ferry. Suzanne Coy and Agam Darshi are also apart of the cast during the first season.

Filming locations

The series' location shooting takes place in Kitchener, Waterloo, Ontario and Hamilton, Ontario; recognizable locations include Kitchener City Hall (as Wessex City Hall) and the Huether Hotel (as Fern's Grill, Dan's workplace).
