“If I die tomorrow, know that someone here killed me.” Former players of the all-
female baseball team, The Chesapeake Chicks, return from the funeral of an old
team member, Ann, and are given her journal, with the cryptic final message. It
turns their lives upside down as everyone tries to figure out who did it – will they
discover the truth before the killer strikes again? Come join the madness in this
new rollicking comedy!
