Advertising executive Samantha James is looking for a ballplayer who can turn the city's losing team into a winning package. From the moment she sees pitcher Jarrett Corliss in that steamy locker room, she knows she's found her star candidate.

She also knows she needs to steer clear of the arrogant player outside the boardroom.

Jarrett agrees to be Samantha's poster boy on one condition that she goes out with him. Even though the team's owner has forbidden fraternisation because of recent scandals that almost brought down the ball club, Jarrett isn't about to strike out.

He needs the team to win this season to save his career, but he also needs Sam and this is the one time where he hopes his pitch lands a home run.
