Evan Brooks never thought a small-town tennis league would feel this intense. With a thrift-store racket and shaky nerves, he’s desperate to prove he belongs even when his wild serves and clumsy steps make him the league’s punchline.

Then there’s Liam Hayes. Sharp, sarcastic, and the star everyone watches. He lives for the game, for the win, and for the smirk he wears when an opponent folds under pressure. When Evan asks for help, Liam reluctantly says yes. Late-night drills under buzzing lights shift into something else: easy laughter, unspoken trust, and a pull neither man can ignore.

But Evan’s stubborn drive grates against Liam’s cutting wit, and their coach’s expectations only tighten the pressure. Missed shots, tense matches, and moments of laughter that hit too close every point brings them closer to a choice they can’t sidestep.

Is this about proving themselves on the court, or is there more at stake than the match?
