In Puzih - a small coastal town located in the scorching-hot southern Taiwan, a baseball team from Shu Dong Senior High School, sponsored by Pei-Tien Temple which worships the Taoist goddess Mazu, is struggling for survival. After a series of humiliating defeats and shortage of support, the team rehabilitates with the help of Coach Keng and by winning over a dragon boat race against a fisherman team invincible in 18 years. The rigorous training and teamwork they endured to win the boat race help them to defeat a university team and reinvigorate local support. In 2003, achieving in the top 8 teams of the Golden Dragon Flag’s National Competition, the team now faces top-ranked team from Gang-Bei High School formed by the Beigang Chao-Tien Temple, which also honors Mazu. As they take the field to fight this famous “Battle of Tien Hau”, the sky darkens and the players begin their game in the fierce wind and rain.  Close
