A warm, reflective documentary portrait of a groundbreaking pitcher whose unconventional life—from his LSD no-hitter to his redemptive work in drug rehabilitation—reveals both the contradictions of 1970s baseball culture and the possibility of transformation.

Dock Ellis pitched a no-hitter on LSD, then worked for decades counseling drug abusers. Dock's soulful style defined 1970s baseball as he kept hitters honest and embarrassed the establishment. An ensemble cast of teammates, friends, and family investigate his life on the field, in the media, and out of the spotlight.
