Synopsis

A down-on-his-luck rep man and his partner (now in his seventies) discover a famous baseball pitcher bound and gagged in the trunk of their latest vehicle repossession. However it comes to light that the baseball player organised his own kidnapping to pay off gambling debts as the World Series is only three days away.

On the run from double-crossing kidnappers-for-hire, the repo man and his son including his aging partner form an alliance with the pitcher to ransom the team and split the money.
If only they were good at it though...
