Stefan returns home to reconnect with his family and finds the ties that bind them are wearing thin. He decides to join The Rhinos, trying to recapture the best part of the dream he once shared with his brothers. But as the three men examine the choices they1ve made in life, Ellen's obsession with having a son in the big leagues threatens to turn the brothers against each other and tear the family apart.
