Nothing can be truer for the people of the small country town of Mystic. However, something has come to Mystic with the survivorsa game called Base Ball.

As the residents of Mystic struggle establish their own Base Ball club, they discover that Base Ball is taking over the nation by storm. With a faithful group of town leaders, a retired Judge, and several veterans, Mystic finds that it is ahead of the storm, instead of getting caught up in it.
