A heartwarming family fantasy about faith, redemption, and belonging, centered on a foster child's belief that prayer and angels can heal his fractured family through baseball.

Roger is a foster child whose irresponsible father promises to get his act together when Roger's favourite baseball team, the California Angels, wins the pennant. The problem is that the Angels are in last place, so Roger prays for help to turn the team around. Sure enough, his prayers are answered in the form of angel Al.
