Life is looking up for Xavier. Things are good with Jennie, his baseball coach believes in him, hes earned the role of closer, and his dads coming home after serving ten years. But making up for lost time with his dad doesnt go as Xavier had hoped. It seems his dads always angry with him. Or drinking. Or out. Or lecturing Xavier on what it means to be a man. When the tension at home builds, Xaviers own hot temper flares, threatening to send him down the same path as his father. Xavier is determined to make a different life. Can he figure out how to control his actions to keep his baseball dreams alive?,
