It's the summer of '69 and a wave of optimism engulfs the Western world. Martin is 12 years old and dreams of playing on the neighbourhood team, emulating his new heros, the Montreal Expos. When he doesn't make the cut, his father steps in and organises a B team. After the initial euphoria, Martin realises that his team's biggest talent is finding new ways to lose and that his father doesn't know a thing about baseball, 12 year-old boys or his very own son.

Unexpectedly thrown together, father and son spend a summer full of hope and disappointment, surprises and foul balls. A summer to remember - for both of them and not only because man took his first steps on the moon.
