Since becoming a widower, Sam Lewis has become more cautious, safer and more disciplined in his approach to life and raising his daughter Amy; the same approach he brings to his job as DA, the same approach he employs coaching his daughter`s softball team; the classic baseball "hit to right" approach. Laura, Amy`s teacher, does not share Sam`s philosophies on life or baseball so when Sam needs Laura`s help to coach the team while he runs for Senate there are clashes but eventually, through their evolving relationship, Sam learns to relax and enjoy life, to become a better person.
