The story follows Bibb August Falk, a tall and confident Texan who transitioned from college sports to professional baseball after being signed by the Chicago White Sox in 1920. Despite his lack of minor league experience, he faced the daunting task of stepping into the role of Shoeless Joe Jackson, who had been banned due to the infamous 1919 World Series scandal. Falk's journey highlights the pressures and challenges of a rookie athlete in the spotlight of a major league team during a tumultuous period in baseball history.
