In 1950s Florida, “Trading Hearts” unfolds as a bright and baseball-loving 11-year-old girl hatches a plan to unite her down-on-her-luck lounge-singer mother with her favorite middle-aged baseball player, Vinnie Lacona, who’s recently been forced into early retirement. As Lacona finds comfort in the soulful melodies of the young girl’s mother, the two begin to connect, much to the delight of the young matchmaker.

However, their budding romance is threatened when the girl’s wealthy and controlling grandfather attempts to separate them, insisting his granddaughter live with him. This movie highlights the determination of a young girl’s belief in love, second chances, and the magic of baseball.
