Synopsis

When the rules no longer apply, how do you keep your head in the game?

Wyatt has a three-part Plan for Life, and it starts now, at the beginning of seventh grade, with tryouts for his local travel baseball team. A biracial kid in a mostly white town, he's always felt like a bit of an outsider. The baseball field is the only place where he feels like he truly belongs. If he can just make the team, everything else will fall into place: school, friends, even his relationship with his often-distant dad.

But after upsetting incidents at tryouts, something inexplicable happens: wisps of smoke form around Wyatt.

As Wyatt tries to figure out what's causing this mysterious smoke and how to control it, he discovers it's connected to a painful family history. The more he learns, the more Wyatt begins to question the rules he's always followed to fit in. With tensions rising at school and on the field, can he face the injustices of the past while keeping his cool in the present?
