The two main characters who are senior and junior to each other at the production company, were also in a senior/junior relationship on their high school baseball team. They had a steadfast bond--doing things together from polishing balls, making documents, rooting for the team from the bench, and going out for drinks. The images of them active on the baseball field and in their current circumstances are intermingled. The trials and tribulations unique to youths in their 20's, their hopes and despair about the future are portrayed in meticulous detail.
