Shoeless Joe

While working outdoors, farmer Ray Kinsella hears a disembodied voice telling him to build a baseball field in his cornfield in order to summon his hero, Shoeless Joe Jackson of the disgraced Chicago “Black Sox”. After building the field and seeing the former Black Sox players return to life to play on it, Kinsella hears another voice telling him to “ease his pain”, which he interprets as a call to contact reclusive writer J.D. Salinger. More messages follow, more ballplayers magically appear and Ray’s family comes together unexpectedly while outside forces threaten to take away Ray’s ballfield and farm.
