THE YIPS

Based on a true story... A high school pitching phenom's lifelong dream of Major League glory is derailed when deep-seated anguish from maternal abandonment of his incarcerated mother, bubbles to the surface in self-destructive behavior, as he rejects the love of his devoted stepmom... until an unlikely friendship helps him confront his pain. (Google China McCarney to see his amazing mental health journey)
