Joe Manganiello is a once-aspiring baseball player who returns home after 17 years in prison in this indie drama co-starring Sofía Vergara.
Signed to the majors straight out of high school, Bobby Stano (Manganiello) was a rising star with everything going for him.

Returning to his Bronx neighbourhood after almost two decades, he sets out to fix his reputation, rekindle his relationship and start anew.
