Jack Of All Trades

description

In the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, North America’s favorite pastime was collecting baseball cards. People would invest millions in this game of pirate’s treasure by putting their mint-condition gold in plastic sleeves, locking it away and hoping its value would continue to rise year after year. Unfortunately, this house of cards would soon collapse, leaving the pieces of cardboard along with the hopes and dreams of fathers and sons worthless. Former child actor Stu Stone (MAGIC SCHOOL BUS, DONNIE DARKO) was one of those sons, and his relationship with his father Jack, who was in the card business, would crumble with the industry. 25 years later, Stu is on a mission to discover why his beloved baseball cards are worth nothing more than the memories they hold of a happy childhood. What he didn’t plan on finding, though, was the most elusive card of them all, his father Jack.
