Starring Mark Harmon, Blair Brown, Jodie Foster
Jodie Foster’s deeply affecting performance as a young woman whose life takes a tragic turn haunts this unabashedly heart-tugging coming-of-age melodrama. Washed-up minor-league baseball player Billy Wyatt (Mark Harmon) is stunned when he receives the news that Katie Chandler (Foster)—his former babysitter and first love—has committed suicide and requested that her ashes be entrusted to him. Traveling back to his hometown, Billy relives his memories of the girl who shaped the course of his life.
