The movie will be a contemporary version of the 1955 musical. In it, Joe Boyd is a happily married man that suffers from a lifelong devotion to a losing baseball team.

One night, the Devil (Carrey), who convinces Joe to sell his soul and become Joe Hardy, an all-star slugger. Boyd can escape the deal, as long as he does it before the World Series.
