Cory Brand is a talented baseball player with a successful career in the major leagues, but his life off the field is marred by his struggles with alcoholism and a tempestuous temper. After a DUI incident and a team suspension, he is forced to return to his hometown to enter a rehab program and coach the local youth baseball team. Cory's return home brings him face-to-face with painful memories, including the death of his father, as well as unresolved issues with his family, particularly his brother, whose own baseball dreams were cut short.

As Cory starts his journey towards recovery, he reluctantly begins to reconnect with his past, including his high school sweetheart, now a single mother, her young son, and the community he left behind. Coaching the ragtag youth team serves as an unlikely catalyst for Cory's personal growth. Through his interactions with the team and their simple love of the game, Cory begins to confront the damage his addiction has caused, and to glimpse the possibility of redemption and a second chance. His life is at a critical crossroads where he must choose between succumbing to his destructive habits or embracing sobriety and the new relationships that are slowly starting to heal him.
