After interfering with a foul ball during a Chicago Cubs playoff game, Steve Bartman – fan turned pariah – was tortured and stalked by die hard Cub fans for potentially costing theme their first National League pennant since 1945. Now, years later, in a new town with a new identity – but depressed, overweight and working a dead end job – Steve meets a woman who gives him a new lease on life and reason to live.

Logline: When a former high school basketball phenom moves to a violent, crime ridden town, he meets a player just as good and just as desperate to make it out as bad as he is. Their unlikely friendship may just be the answer to both of their problems.
