When Ben and Jili Holden need to move from Manhattan with their three kids back to their small home town of Palace Valley, California, they are forced to fix up the moms and dads they’ve ended up being with the dreams they had, the choices they have actually made, and a sex life a lot more down to earth than the epic Ferris wheel tryst of their youth. After unwillingly stepping up to lead his kid’s Little League group, Ben is challenged to finally pertain to terms with the long shadow of his daddy, a legendary high school baseball coach and coach who is beloved by generations of gamers, yet mostly a complete stranger to Ben. At the heart of the story are the universal experiences and styles of household and community, as Ben and Jili battle to get in touch with their technology-addicted children and come to grips with problems of marital fidelity– both at home and in the hotbed of sexual stress that is the Little League park. Amongst a memorable cast are Del, an autocratic coach who releases his own Ten Commandments; Liza, Ben’s unrequited high school crush; Logan, a smart-aleck ringer whose preteen talents are eclipsed just by his ego; and Cyn, the sultry thong-wearing group mom with the serpent tattoo.
