In a future where every pitch is analyzed by Statlines and every player is a data point, Kade, a brilliant catcher, lives and breathes the numbers. But when his star pitcher, Kupton, defies the data and trusts her gut, their carefully constructed strategy for the crucial Frontier League evaluation begins to unravel. Their home on Harrow Station is a decaying orbital outpost, where survival means staying useful, and Kade's family faces imminent reassignment if he can't secure a professional contract. With his mother's health failing and his brother's future hanging in the balance, Kade must navigate the rigid demands of the system against the unpredictable human element of the game. Can Kade reconcile the cold logic of data with the desperate needs of his family, or will the weight of their survival force him to make an impossible choice?
