After the devastating Eaton Canyon fire leaves families displaced, a Little League team becomes an unlikely anchor—carrying a fractured community through loss, recovery, and an improbable season.

"Director Eric Simonson avoids spectacle and instead watches how children and parents move through loss inning by inning. What emerges is not a disaster documentary, but a portrait of a community trying to return, slowly and deliberately, to something that still feels like home.”
