Sparking a nationwide debate, it asks the question, 'Can a woman compete in a man's sport at this level?' In a cross between \u003ci\u003eBull Durham\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eA League Of Their Own\u003c\/i\u003e, follow this incredible young woman as she struggles to overcome politics, sexism and the athletic challenges of competing in a male dominated sport.
