There, the Ivy-League-Educated, Big City Dude must contend with being a stranger in a strange land as he joins a team in the rural area made up of players suffering from substance abuse issues, ingrained with bizarre superstitions, and at odds with one another over differing political and religious beliefs.
Jay must will the team to put their differences behind them and come together to win the Mid-Atlantic League Pennant, but more importantly, win the War of The Roses Game between his Lancaster Barn Raisers and their main rivals The York Barn Stormers.
Shine Ball is a fish out of water story combining humor, sports, love, and the search for answers during an existential crisis.
