Synopsis
Désemparé, angoissé, mais bien décidé à triompher, Billy Chapel aborde un tournant de sa vie privée et professionnelle. Lanceur vedette des Tigres de Détroit, il a été pendant vingt ans le pilier et l'âme de cette brillante équipe de base-ball où il a connu la gloire et les honneurs réservés réservés aux plus grands sportifs. Mais après avoir donné tout son temps et toute son énergie au sport, Billy se voit transféré par les propriétaires de son équipe - échangé comme une vulgaire marchandise - sans avoir son mot à dire. A cette cuisante humiliation s'ajoute un drame personnel encore plus imprévu et plus douloureux : Jane, sa compagne qu'il aime plus que tout au monde, s'apprête à le quitter.
