Michael Arroyo possesses a pitching arm that throws serious heat, fueling his dream of leading his team to the Little League World Series. However, the real heat Michael faces is in his precarious daily life as a newly orphaned boy who, along with his older brother Carlos, has fled Cuba. To avoid separation by Social Services or deportation, they live in hiding, dodging bills and questions. When Michael's extraordinary pitching ability draws unwanted attention, his secret world is threatened, forcing him to discover that family and support can emerge from the most unexpected places.
