At Westish College, a little faculty on the shore of Lake Michigan, baseball star Henry Skrimshander appears destined for large league stardom. But when a routine throw goes disastrously off beam, the fates of five people are upended.
Henry's fight against self-doubt threatens to ruin his future. College president Guert Affenlight, a longtime bachelor, has fallen unexpectedly and helplessly in love. Owen Dunne, Henry's gay roommate and teammate, becomes trapped in an exceedingly dangerous affair. Mike Schwartz, the Harpooners' team captain and Henry's best friend, realizes he has guided Henry's career at the expense of his own. And Pella Affenlight, Guert's daughter, returns to Westish after escaping an ill-fated marriage, determined to begin a brand new life.
