Abner Doubleday invented baseball. Jackie Robinson integrated it. Now Sister Mary Bernadette is out to redefine what it means to throw like a girl. The big league Washington Memorials grudgingly welcome a new prospect to 1994 Spring Training, a nun with a nasty knuckleball. She’s on a mission to make the club and use her contract to save her beleaguered hometown Church. She enters this world of men armed only with a tattered glove and a dream she thought was gone forever. 
Sister Mary is chaste and virtuous -- a nun, but also an athlete who cannot be contained by her habit. She bonds with another outsider in this all male world, the team's beat reporter, Amy Springer, a temptress laced with vice but with secret dreams of virtue. Both are strangers in a strange world where they are not wanted and not welcomed. 
Find out what happens when a team of pro baseball's best is forced to locker with a woman, who happens to be a nun. Nuns shouldn't be in locker rooms. Women shouldn't be in men's locker rooms. And young nuns shouldn't be on the rubber for game seven of a World Series. Maybe three wrongs do make a right!

When 16-year-old Rachel Collins meets Jason Russo, she knows in an instant that he is her soul mate. She tries everything from dirty dancing to dating his football rival to get his attention, but he's made up his mind that she's just not his type. Rachel and Jason hang out in the same circles, but they never develop the romance Rachel believes is their destiny. 
Jason knows Rachel has a crush on him, and though he isn’t interested, he finds himself feeling strangely protective of her when she begins to show up in his remarkably-vivid dreams; it's as if she's calling to him. Rachel and Jason eventually become friends, but the realities of adult life set in and the two drift apart. 
For the next ten years, they lead parallel lives until a shocking tragedy of fate reaches out and pulls them back together. 
Does destiny offer second chances? Or was that just a teenage girl's fantasy?
