Attempting to reverse the devastating memories of his late father,
Eric, an AmerAsian graduate, assumes an identity to take back one
last year of college baseball. Along with Danny, another graduate
using an assumed identity, Eric battles his way onto the team, eying
the attention of the professional scouts. But along his journey,
he develops an unexpected, yet close connection with head Coach
Pierce, a man who still suffers from the heartbreaking loss of his
son.
Once Eric’s innocent friendship deepens with Coach Pierce’s
neice, Amy, all of his honesty, integrity, and loyalty grow severely
compromised. So he distances himself from Amy in an effort to deny
his mounting guilt. As the big Easter Tournament approaches, Eric
bonds with his closest rival, Tommy, and establishes himself as
a team leader through his relentless work ethic. However, he’s
alienated by both Danny and Amy, whose lives begin taking reckless
turns.
Already struggling through physical, emotional, and spiritual adversity,
Eric winds up on the same field opposite an enemy from his secretive
past. Now he is forced to watch Coach Pierce re-live his most tragic
loss, or play in a game that threatens to bring his career, and
his freedom, to an abrupt end.
