Abandoned houses filled with useless old junk. Empty streets in deserted suburbs. And why do the airplanes seem to only be heading west? ‘Baseball’ is a cryptic and hypnotic fever-dream of a world out of sync. Like picture postcards from a parallel universe, a series of static and surreal vignettes reveal the lives of a loose knit group of teenagers trying to find sense in emptiness.

Sammy Hill, son of crime boss Robby Rothstein, barely escapes a bloody bust that signals trouble ahead. With cops closing in, Robby sets his sights on Times Square. But as the pressure mounts, Sammy starts to unravel, his grip on reality slipping—a weakness that rival don Fredo Ferrante is quick to exploit. Now, father and son face a deadly game of ambition and loyalty in a city where survival is anything but guaranteed.
