The father went missing after a betting scandal involving baseball, and now a card arrives telling the boy to play. Should he obey him or his mother, who can't stand the game? It is 1986, and in the Japan Series a team trailing three games to none is about to win the next four. If such a turnaround is possible, perhaps the boy's luck could change too, as he pours himself into a school play alongside a classmate he admires.
