Synopsis

Old rivalries, new competitions, one winner

Tennis coach Tashi Donaldson is a former tennis star who is now training her husband Art Donaldson in pursuit of a Grand Slam title. To bounce back after a streak of losses, Tashi enters Art into a Challengers event which is one of the lowest rungs of professional tennis. When Art realises that the man standing on the other end of the court is Tashi’s childhood best friend and ex-boyfriend Patrick, the rivalry becomes much bigger than the game on the court and the trio are confronting with the personal baggage from the past.
