Bottom of the 9th
Joe Manganiello is a once-aspiring baseball player who returns home after 17 years in prison in this indie drama co-starring Sofía Vergara.
Signed to the majors straight out of high school, Bobby Stano (Manganiello) was a rising star with everything going for him. But a violent altercation between he and a local gang changed his life forever and saw him packing for prison. Returning to his Bronx neighbourhood after almost two decades, he sets out to fix his reputation, rekindle his relationship and start anew.
