Nozomu Kizaki (Sho Aikawa) is a former yakuza who now uses his persuasive "sermons" to help people struggling with debt through his money-lending business, Hope Shokai, and by coaching baseball to kids. During a collection mission, Kizaki encounters Gota Yagisawa (Takeshi Ayano), a former Koshien pitcher deeply in debt and adrift. Inspired by Kizaki's approach, Gota agrees to rebuild his life under his guidance. But their newfound hope is threatened by the Kuroda clan, a powerful yakuza organization that casts a long shadow over them both.
