In a last ditch effort to save his career as a sports agent, JB Bernstein (Jon Hamm) concocts a scheme to find baseball’s next great pitching ace.

Hoping to sign them to major league contracts and make a quick buck, JB brings the boys home to America to train. While the Americans are definitely out of their element in India “” the boys, who have never left their rural villages “” are equally challenged when they come to the States. As the boys learn the finer points of baseball “” JB, with the help of his charming friend Brenda (Lake Bell) “” learns valuable life lessons about teamwork, commitment and what it means to be a family.
