In this Zendaya-led story about tennis, players compete on the court and for a woman's attention.
Former tennis prodigy Tashi Duncan is a wife and mother who manages her husband Art , a tennis professional. His career is in a slump, so she books him to play in a smaller competition, hoping an easy win will restore his flagging confidence. Playing in the same tournament is Patrick , Art’s former best friend and doubles partner. He is also Tashi’s former boyfriend.
Titillation in cinema is fine, but those expecting this picture to be as explicit as, say, fantasy series Game Of Thrones will have to look elsewhere. In a non-linear fashion, groundwork is laid for the match-up between the two men, one that will bring to a climax years of simmering resentment, thwarted ambition and something else entirely.
