Told in poetry, Swing is the story of two friends, Walt and Noah, and their journey to figure out how to survive high school, make the baseball team, and woo the girls of their dreams. Walt works on a podcast on love and Noah tries to find a way to tell his best friend, Sam, that he's in love with her. Meanwhile, American flags are popping up in unexpected places all over town and prejudice and racial violence enter the already complicated lives of Walt and Noah.
