Strike two: Shenice&’s focus gets shaken when her great-uncle Jack reveals that a career-ending—and family-name-ruining—crime may have been a setup. Strike three: Broken focus means mistakes on the field. And Shenice&’s teammates are beginning to wonder if she&’s captain-qualified. It's up to Shenice to discover the truth about her family&’s past—and fast—before secrets take the Firebirds out of the game forever.
