Synopsis

Former tennis star turned coach trains husband for Grand Slam, faces emotional showdown on court

Tashi Donaldson, a former tennis star who is now a coach, is training her husband Art Donaldson with the goal of making him a Grand Slam champion. After Art experiences a major losing streak, Tashi enters him into a Challengers event which is considered one of the lowest levels of professional tennis. Art becomes cautious when he realizes that his opponent is Patrick, his childhood best friend and Tashi's ex. As they face each other on the court, both Art and Patrick carry emotional baggage from their past. However, it is off the court where the real questions and challenges arise and they must confront and address their personal issues.
