Lisa (Witherspoon) is a woman whose athletic ability is
the defining passion of her life, having been her focus
since early childhood. When she is cut from her team,
everything she has ever known is suddenly taken from
her. Not knowing what to do, she stumbles toward
regular life. In this mode, she begins a fling with Matty
(Wilson), a major league baseball pitcher, a self-
centered ladies man – a narcissist with a code of
honor.
George (Rudd) is a straight-arrow businessman whose
complicated relationship with his father, Charles
(Nicholson), takes a turn when George is accused of a
financial crime, even though he’s done nothing wrong.
Though he may be headed to jail, George’s honesty,
integrity, and unceasing optimism may be his only path
to keeping his sanity.
Before Lisa’s relationship with Matty takes root, she
meets George for a first date on the worst evening of
each of their lives: she has just been cut, and he has
just been served. When everything else seems to be
falling apart, they will discover what it means to have
something wonderful happen.
