Aging baseball scout, Gus Lobel, struggles with the realities of getting older and the physical limitations that come with it, particularly his failing eyesight. His stubbornness leads him to resist using modern technology in his evaluations, clinging to his traditional methods. Gus’s boss and long-time friend, Pete, becomes concerned about his ability to continue scouting effectively. Meanwhile, Mickey, Gus's estranged daughter, is building her career as a successful lawyer. When Pete learns of an important upcoming scouting trip that could spell the end of Gus's career if he fails, he encourages Mickey to join her father to ensure he completes the assignment.

Mickey reluctantly agrees, setting aside her work to accompany Gus on the scouting trip. She hopes to reconnect with her distant father and help him in any way she can. As they travel through minor league ballparks, Mickey begins to understand the depth of Gus’s love for the game and his vast knowledge of baseball. Their journey is filled with tension, as old wounds resurface and they struggle to communicate. Along the way, they encounter Johnny, a former player-turned-scout, whose charm and admiration for Gus’s old-school methods challenge Mickey's perceptions. Through a series of personal and professional challenges, Gus and Mickey must confront their past and find a way to repair their fractured relationship.
