Overview

When Rachel Phelps inherits the Cleveland Indians from her deceased husband, she's determined to move the team to a warmer climateโ€”but only a losing season will make that possible, which should be easy given the misfits she's hired. Rachel is sure her dream will come true, but she underestimates their will to succeed.
