Drama, Romance, Sport

When most people look at Florence Farley, they see a pretty teenager. But when Milly Farley looks at her daughter she sees something else: a tennis prodigy who could be Milly’s ticket to money and fame.

Plot

Gordon meets Florence and they share an interest in tennis. But Florence has a supremely-ambitious mother (she barely knows her own husband exists) who intends to push her ahead. Florence's tennis career rapidly advances, thanks to Mother's manipulation and a promotion-minded coach; building toward the inevitable conflict between the fulfillment of Mother's dreams...and daughter's.
