High school senior Lazarus Weathers wants out of the run-down trailer park where he lives with his mother and brother. When he receives an invitation to move in with a well-off family and pitch for a high-profile high school baseball team on the other side of town, it's his chance to impress major-league scouts and maybe become a professional baseball player. But it also means leaving his family behind. As his brother gets sucked into the trailer park's drug world, Laz has to choose between being a star pitcher and being there for his family.
