In the late 1980s, Travis Lembeau, a freshman catcher trying to
make his college baseball team, meets Nicholas "Pooch" Shepherd, a
brilliant, ambidextrous pitching prodigy. The two become fast
friends and decide to work out together to earn a spot on the
rotation. But Pooch has a love of the drink and a talent for
sabotage, and one cool February night in 1989, he embarks on a
night of drunken violence that leaves Travis in the hospital.
Almost a decade has passed, and the two have gotten on with their
lives. Travis has married his college sweetheart and works for a
small-town newspaper, and Nick Shepherd, no longer calling himself
Pooch, is a recovering alcoholic, ten years sober, who cares for
his ailing mother and teaches baseball to the local kids. It would
seem that the terrible days of Pooch are long gone ... but
sometimes the past is never where you think you left it. Through a
quantum anomaly, the demon that Nick used to be--the vicious Pooch
circa 1989--claws its way across the portals of time to stalk
Travis and harass his family. After Travis suffers another beating
at Pooch's hands, he fears the worst--that Nick has fallen off the
wagon and returned to his violent ways. But Nick is still very much
sober and has an even greater reason for concern. For if this thing
really is Pooch, if Pooch has somehow come out of the past to
torment the present, then every atrocity committed by Pooch will
leave a trail leading back to Nick. Working together and apart, and
enlisting the aid of a mysterious time-traveling transient, Travis
and Nick set out to stop Pooch and send him back to where he came
from ... before Pooch's madness destroys everything they love.
