It's spring 1963 and Clark Westfield, 17, has two unrequited passions -Julie Wells and baseball. Clark is tall, decent looking, smart, and thinks he has it all figured out. He is a veteran of being 'the new kid' in school because his family has moved every summer to a new city. He has taught himself to pitch a baseball and thinks he is pretty good. But he has never tried out for a team or even played in a real game. And he has carefully kept his distance from Julie Wells who is captain of the high school cheerleaders and has troubles of her own. Clark would have remained in his social-isolation bubble except for the unexpected arrival from England of Rita, 20, his pretty and pregnant half-sister. Rita soon bursts his bubble and gets him to try out for the baseball team and to make a connection with Julie through music and sports. Clark's delayed sexual awakening is complicated because he is clueless about girls and sex. A baseball tournament and high school prom provide the focal points for Clark's fitful progress and growth. But will it all crash and burn when his father announces their next move?
