1998, New York City. Hank, a promising baseball player who never made it to the pros due to an injury, leads a typical life: he works at a bar, dates the beautiful Yvonne, cheers for his favorite team, and calls his mom every day, who is also a big baseball fan. When his punk neighbor leaves for a few days and asks him to take care of his bitey cat, Hank's life takes a dramatic turn. He is severely beaten by ruthless Russian gangsters, and he finds himself at the center of a local gang-related crime story.
