SYNOPSIS
The cursed Boston Red Sox have devoted fans in Brett, Holly, and Dominic - three siblings who are less than lucky themselves. When their father disappears, leaving them in the care of their estranged Aunt Peg, their family might be in more dire need of a miracle than their team. Hoping for a victory on or off the field, Brett prays to every possible deity. Dominic seeks answers in statistics. And as losses pile up, Holly uncovers a clue to their father's whereabouts. Against impossible odds, is there still a way to win?
