Billy Wyatt, a former high school and minor-league baseball player, receives a telephone call from his mother revealing that his former child-sitter, and later in his teens, his first love, Katie Chandler, has died. Wyatt returns home to deal with this tragedy, reminiscing over his childhood growing up with his father, Katie, and best friend Alan Appleby.

Jodie Foster shines in a quiet, aching turn as a woman whose sudden absence haunts the memories of a returning baseball player. This nostalgic look at broken dreams and family ties trades stadium lights for the bittersweet shadows of a small town.
