In a wealthy suburb of Toronto lives an image-conscious Blue Jay's third baseman. On the same street of expensive estates dwells an unorthodox defenseman of the hockey Maple Leafs. On his unkempt urban plot the hockey player raises farm animals and tries to have his weedy acre re-zoned to its agricultural roots. The ball player does charity work, hires a gardener, and keeps his womanizing, drinking and gambling under wraps. The hockey wife stands between them. She needs to be pregnant with a baby girl and the ball player is the only suitable suitor. Her renegade hockey husband has provided two sons, but has stopped too many pucks and lacks the pluck to plant his seed, although he strives to maintain his much treasured masculinity. The oversized he-men live a block apart and when the unstoppable hockey force meets the immovable baseball object the result is inevitable: penalties, foul balls, fumbles and cross-checks.
