“The Open Road” tells the tale of Carlton Garrett, a minor league baseball player, who embarks on a journey to reconnect with his long-lost Hall of Fame father, Kyle Garrett. His mission is driven by the urgent need to bring his father to the bedside of his critically ill mother. Joined by his ex-girlfriend Lucy, their trip becomes an emotional exploration of family ties, old wounds, and shared passions.

Navigating challenges both from their shared baseball legacy and personal histories, Carlton and Kyle face the pains of years of separation. Their intertwined stories of ambition and estrangement are further complicated by Kyle’s evasive actions and Carlton’s doubts about his own baseball future. Through it all, the game they love acts as a backdrop, offering a chance for reconciliation and a new beginning.
