When baseball icon Boog Logan stuns the nation by announcing he’ll play the season without pay, it begins as a headline. Then a hashtag. Then a movement.
Overnight, Playing for Free becomes a national phenomenon—a swirling collision of patriotism, media spectacle, and televangelical zeal. Boog is everywhere: lionized by fans, branded by corporations, and manipulated by those who see him not as a man, but as leverage.
Behind the chants and prayer rallies, though, lies something far more dangerous—a billion-dollar laundering scheme run by baseball’s iron-fisted elite, and orchestrated by the unflinching Eleanor Von Steiner.
As scandals erupt—rigged bets, staged breakdowns, and smear campaigns—two unlikely allies rise: T.J. Stroker, a burned-out journalist chasing one last truth, and Riley Chen, a tech whistleblower with everything to lose. Together, they begin to expose the machine behind the movement—and the cost of worshiping a symbol instead of the truth.
And as the nation watches, Boog must decide: protect the illusion—or blow it all wide open.
A blistering political sports thriller about faith, manipulation, and the cost of becoming a symbol.
