Soon, however, Seth and Jimmy are inseparable and baseball is the glue that holds their friendship together. They both live and breathe baseball. While Seth struggles to be good enough to make the varsity team, Jimmy, a natural, looks like he's on his way to becoming a major league star. Even as Jimmy shines on the diamond, there is a dark secret that is jeopardizing his future. Can Seth help Jimmy confront his problems, or will he watch Jimmy throw away his future and possibly his life?
