Takao once stood out as a baseball player until a broken finger in junior high ended his playing days. Now in high school, he lingers by the diamond after class, unable to let go of what he lost. When the soccer club captain notices him, he extends an unlikely invitation. Takao has never played soccer, but his athleticism and hard work soon earn him a regular spot, though his heart never leaves the baseball field. Seeing that Takao cannot give up the sport, the captain steers him toward the baseball club, whose members take a relaxed, easygoing attitude. Their laid-back approach clashes with Takao's disciplined mentality, and at first he struggles to fit in. But something shifts. Takao's earnestness begins to rub off on his teammates, and their attitude slowly starts to change. The result is a sports story about perseverance and a second chance at the game he loves.
