Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
In this comedy, a former pitcher for the Boston Red Sox tries to cope after his knuckleball puts another player into a coma. To escape the publicity, pitcher Billy Conway changes his name and moves to Ireland. He meets Heather O'Neil, and independent feisty woman trying to avoid Parker Danagher, a local salesman who tries to court her. Romance ensues. Meanwhile, in New Jersey, two thugs are sent to Ireland to collect a small debt.
