Hank Thompson was a baseball prodigy in high school, but now he can't play.
Other than that, all's well. He's dating a great girl, he's a bartender by night in a seedy New York bar, and his favorite losing team is making an improbable comeback for the title. When Russ, his punk neighbor, asks him to look after his cat for a few days, Hank has no idea that he's about to get caught in the middle of a motley crew of fearsome gangsters. They're all after Hank, and he doesn't even know why. As he tries to escape their clutches, Hank must summon all his energy and stay alive long enough to understand.
