Dean Brennan, mayor of Dublin, Tennessee, has died after thirty-five years in office, but he's stuck on earth as a ghost due to the many disreputable acts he committed in his lifetime. To most of the public, he had been the intelligent, friendly, fiscally responsible mayor of their town; a good friend, husband and faher. But to some, he was a ruthless blackmailer who preyed on those who needed to keep their own secrets. Dean must recall or perform six unselfish acts before he can be released. After eighty-five years, you'd think that would be easy.
