Game’s over. Roger “Rajah” Rain has made his final appearance as a minor league pitcher, having never attained his dream of starring in the majors. At 31, he must now figure out what to do with his life after decades of monomaniacal devotion to playing a game.
A friend gets him a job videoing the stories of former ballplayers now in their 80s and 90s for a documentary on a passing generation of athletes. A new skill. He needs it. He also determines to learn a new language. Might help erase the vocabulary of baseball that now haunts him.
Yet, through his video camera and the new language, Rajah comes dangerous close to the lives of two needy characters who show him that creating a new life involves killing the old one.
