The actual members of the Hong Kong Baseball Team all prove themselves to be natural actors by playing themselves in this fictional youth drama set in 2004. In a city where baseball culture is non-existent, these baseball players are a minority by choice. The experience teaches them to be free-thinkers in dealing with love, friendship and their own sexuality. It also enables them to find the will to live in the face of death and the strength to conquer losing in a spectatorless sport.

This film is based on the stories provide by the Hong Kong Baseball Team players, and performed by themselves.

Hong Kong is a glamourous city with everything but baseball, almost. A brand new diamond and a charismatic new coach bring hope to the underrated delegation. Yet their passionate lives are no less intriguing.

The coach from Taipei meets a beautiful beachfront girl. The masculine pitcher attracts more fans than he like while he desperately attempts to save a suicidal girl. The artistic rookie who is also into punk music and fashion is so attached to the pitcher that it aroused suspicion to his sexuality, from his teammates as well as himself.

In the fateful Asian Cup, they defeat Indonesia and Thailand, the two strongest teams in the group they have never conquered. Amid the ecstasy of achieving the greatest victory ever, they lost to Sri Lanka, the weakest link, in the final match and were sent straight to the hell from heaven.
