Since little league, Jalen Mitchell had only three goals, play professional baseball, win a World Series, and be inducted into the hall of fame. After four years in the pros, he was accomplishing that lofty dream by becoming rookie pitcher of the year and winning a World Series. It wasn't until his fifth year in the league, his game started slipping. As his statistics worsened, his manager decided to demote Jalen to the AAA affiliate team to regain his confidence. The move to the different league doesn't work, as Jalen remains in a downward spiral. Depressed, Jalen thought his dream was over, until he meets an old crush from college. Former college softball player, Jessica Garcia, shows him that baseball is more than just a game, not only reigniting his passion for the game, but his passion for life. The two fall for each other, but Jessica's past holds her back from growing the relationship further. Unable to move on, their newfound love is challenged, and Jalen must make the ultimate decision between his love of the game and his love for her. Will this new love last, or will it fizzle out?
