An unforgettable story hides in the shadows of America's national pastime... 

It's 1963, and civil unrest simmers in America's streets. Baseball Hall of Fame Historian Frank Aldridge receives a letter from a woman claiming that Ray Cavanagh, a talented but forgotten left-handed pitcher, may be her father. Fascinated by her story, Frank sets out to discover the truth. 

What he finds and uncovers is a lost legacy of forbidden love, fragile dreams, and despicable racism... 

In the 1930s and '40s, Ray Cavanagh was known as "Rock 'n Fire," an ace lefty pitcher with a stubborn streak a mile wide. After suffering an injury in a game against Negro League All Stars, Ray meets Aulette... a Black woman. Together they defy society's racist taboos and embark on a passionate affair, knowing it could have disastrous consequences for them both. 

Inspired by his personal need to know the truth, Frank is driven to find the elusive Cavanaugh, who has not been heard from in more than a decade. And as the years go by, Frank fights his own problems as he presses on to uncover the love story buried beneath years of hatred and oppression.

Told against the sprawling canvas of our country's turbulent past, Rock 'n Fire is a mesmerizing look at the hope of love in the dark side of America's favorite sport.
