Burned out and broke, former major league pitcher Kenny Powers returns home to North Carolina to teach PE at the local middle school he once attended. Wreaking havoc at school, around town and at the home of his brother Dustin, Kenny settles into his role as the town's loose cannon agitator, setting his sights on winning back his high school flame April, now a teacher engaged to the school principal, Terrence Cutler.

After Kenny sets Stevie up to take the rap for his own alcohol fueled car crash, Kenny hires Stevie as his assistant. Thinking it's worth a lot of money, Kenny has his sister-in-law Cassie list memorabilia from his baseball career on eBay, and he begins training and using steroids again.
