Dean Brennan, deceased mayor of Dublin, TN, has returned to the town he governed (often illegally) for thirty-five years. Luckily for him, despite a lifetime of engaging in blackmail and extortion, he had managed to perform a sufficient number of good deeds that his spirit could enter the Afterlife. Reunited with his wife, Janet, they are able to visit anyone anywhere at any time, but Dublin tugs at his heartstrings. And it's a good thing, because a terrible storm is in the works, ready to wipe Dublin off the map, and Dean and some of his friends are the only ones who can prevent a total catastrophe from occurring.

In the two years that passed between Dublin, TN and Return to Dublin, TN: Everyday Heroes, the town has undergone a resurgence in vitality, bringing in tourists, new business opportunities, and an old document that will change the lives of the local Native Americans forever.
