Due to constant internal conflicts and constant errors in play, the professional baseball team "Dreams" is on the brink of collapse, consistently in last place in league standings. In a final attempt to save the team, club management decides to bring in a new general manager: Jun Sakurazaki (Kazuya Kamenashi), who has a proven record of helping struggling sports teams despite having no experience playing baseball himself. Jun ushers in bold, controversial reforms that appear to defy logic, starting with trading the franchise's star player. At the same time, So Negishi (Mansai Nomura), head of the corporation that owns the team, has his own agenda that doesn't always align with Jun's. As Jun clashes with players and staff alike, everyone is forced to reconsider what winning and teamwork really mean to them. This drama was adapted from the 2019 Korean drama of the same name.
