A lighthearted sports comedy about redemption and reconciliation, built on the absurdist premise of a tennis snob forced to embrace pickleball.

Desperate to save a struggling country club and earn his father's respect, a washed-up tennis pro is compelled to break a sacred vow and do the unthinkable: play pickleball.
