Inspired by a true story. A group of young baseball players, led by their coach Cesar Faz, accomplished more than any other Mexican team in the history of the US Little League. These kids from Monterrey, 1957 champions, recreate their achievement: how they crossed the border as complete unknowns, faced adversity, climate and socio-economic differences, and ended up conquering the unimaginable: the White House.
