I've spent my whole life in the spotlight. From star athlete in high school to the major leagues in the blink of an eye.

When an injury suddenly ends my career, I return home a celebrity. The problem with that is I don't want to be a celebrity. I want to teach kids, give them the chances that I had when I was kid.

My best friend gets me the job I've always wanted. Coaching the Little League All Star team from his hometown. So I pack up and move as fast as I can to live my dream working with kids.

One in particular catches my eye but local politics might prevent him from becoming the star player I know he can be. That young man is not the only one that catches my eye in this town though.

Can his mom overcome the years of abuse and gossip this town has piled on her? I don't know, but I'm going to give it all I've got to make her mine.
