Workaholic Mike Flaherty is the Deputy Mayor of New York City, serving as Mayor Randall Winston's key strategist and much-needed handler. Mike runs the city with an oddball staff that include an anxious and insecure press secretary; a sexist, boorish chief of staff; an impeccably groomed gay activitist running minority affairs; a sharp and man-crazy accountant; and an idealistic speechwriter.

It's re-election time, and that means business in the mayor's office, aside from a steady stream of assassination plots, supermodels, teenage girl muggers, ex-girlfriends, and a city full of problems. With all the ensuing chaos, there are enough distractions and obstacles to make business nearly impossible for the damage-controlling spin wizard, Deputy Mayor Mike Flaherty, and his crew. Includes 26 episodes.

"New York City's Deputy Mayor, Mike Flaherty [is] the slick support system to newly announced Senatorial candidate Mayor Randall Winston. But with a Senate seat on the line and a city to run, Mike is forced to hire a campaign manager to help lighten the load."--Container.
