Calvin Campbell is a former professional baseball player sent to an early retirement due to his panic attacks at the plate.

His life is in a slow downward spiral when it is suddenly awakened and invigorated by the most unlikely person – Produce, a young-man with Down syndrome who works at the local grocery store.
