After freezing at home plate, professional baseball player Calvin Campbell retires from the Detroit Tigers and retreats to his hometown in Louisville, Kentucky where he puts his life on hold for years to nurse his damaged pride.
Locked in self-pity, Calvin now spends his days trying to drown the memory of his personal and professional failure in a bottle.
As Katie, his sixteen-year-old daughter, battles for his attention, she turns to unhealthy relationships in a desperate attempt to fill a need left void by a disappointing and absent father.
When Calvin’s life continues deteriorating, he finds himself drawn to the produce aisle for a listening ear, and soon a unique friendship forms between the two.
As Produce confronts his personal hardships, he shows Calvin a new way of dealing with disappointment: holding tightly to faith rather than a bottle.
When Produce finds him incoherent, he takes Calvin's keys, preventing him from attending a job interview with the one Minor League Baseball team willing to give him a second chance.
Drunk and jobless, Calvin sinks further into hopelessness and the pain of his selfish actions confronts him head on as his daughter finally admits to giving up on him.
