Sheridan Matthews, seasoned coach of the Mountain Shadows High School softball program, receives the talented daughter of a yesteryear hero of her first championship team. Anna Lee Lewis, a young Christian girl, blossoms into a dynamic pitcher for the Mountaineers under the guidance and tutelage of Coach Matthews.

But then, everything that can possibly go wrong, does! Don't they call this Murphy's Law?

From a tragic school shooting incident to a serious free-for-all brawl during a game, a transgender opponent, a player's addiction, team disqualification for three years, another player's death-it all happens to keep things universally unsettled. Will the battery of Anna Lee Lewis and her atheist catcher, Solene Jones, be able to remain unshakeable through it all in their quest for the state championship? And what is learned in the process?
