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 is a gangster working under his father, Robby Rothstein, who leads a powerful criminal organization. After a tense drug deal interrupted by police, Sammy survives but loses his crew, signaling a bigger threat. As tensions rise, Robby proposes moving their drug operations into Times Square, using the tactics of a legendary wartime smuggler, but faces resistance from fellow dons, especially Fredo Ferrante, who questions Robby’s leadership and bold strategy.
