Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHThe movie kicks off with the clouds while the score plays....goosebumps. Roger & his best friend and fellow foster kid JP are riding their bikes talking about heaven and where their name "foster" came from. Their foster mom, Maggie, greets them and tells Roger he has a guest. He runs inside and is excited to see his dad who is just lighting up a cig. They talk a little baseball, he puts out a cigerett on his jeans, and tells Roger he's heading up north and can't take him with him. He tells Roger he's signed a release paper. Roger asks his dad when they're gonna be a family again. He says when the Angels win the pennant. Unfortunately, the Angels are real bad. After a handful of errors, the Angel's manager George Knox gets in a literal fight with his pitcher. After the game, Knox goes to talk to the owner. He tells him that he can't win with this team. The owner tells him to wait it out, no one expects him to win here. That night, Roger prays that God helps the Angels win so that he can be with his dad. As he falls asleep, we see a little twinkle in a star. Could be anything.The next day, Roger and JP get to go to a game. During the game, Roger can't believe his eyes as the outfielder seems to get picked up by two guys in sparkling pajamas to make a catch. When he talks to JP about it, he doesn't know what he's talking about. Just looked like a good catch to me. Roger asks another guy. Same answer. Roger is like what the heck? Suddenly, this dude comes to sit next to him and says "I love when they come from above like that". He says his name is Al and no one can see or hear him except for Roger. And he tells Roger to keep his eyes out. He'll be in touch. Roger watches as the angels continue to do their thing and help the team win. After the game, JP learns he won a picture opportunity with Knox. He tells Roger to take his spot. Roger tells Knox that they won because there were angels helping them. He thinks the kid is crazy but he goes into the locker room and asks the players and they give him less than satisfying answers. He goes to invite Roger to sit next to the dugout to let him know if he ends up seeing angels so he can plan accordingly. He tells Roger instead of calling him over, to do an angel signal. Knox begins to listen to him even when it doesn't make sense and they begin to win and win and win some more. They get to the top of the standings and are 1 game away from winning the division. Roger finds out he has to miss a game for a court apperance but he sends JP just in case. They end up losing and JP is so sad after the game that he blabs about the angels to a reporter who hates Knox. Roger's father permanently gives up custody of him which confuses Roger because the Angels are finally winning. When he gets home, Knox is there and he sticks around to cheer him up. The news breaks about the angels and Roger comes clean to Maggie about his special ability. The owner calls Knox in and demands that he stand in front of the press and tell everyone that the story isn't true. Knox doesn't do that and all of the players support him so the owner keeps Knox on. It's the final game of the season and one of the angels show up to help the team. Al shows up and explains to Roger that championships have to be won of their own. Also, in lighter news, the pitcher Mel Clark is going to die in a couple months. Go team.The Angels end up fighting back and Clark goes out to pitch the final inning. He's really struggling. So Knox goes to talk to him while Roger stands up to give the angel signal and the entire stadium joins. He's able to pull out the W with an amazing catch! After the game, Knox brings the kids home and tells them that he wants to adopt them. They're pumped.
