Whatever happened to Brian Scagill? A year after his dramatic exit
from England's Grand Slam tournament, Brian has all but disappeared
from the world of professional tennis, and doesn't intend to
return. He's made a life for himself with fellow athlete Lexi
Horvat, far removed from the dual pressures of fame and family. A
surprise wildcard might be his last chance to play on an
international stage, and Brian's life is thrown into tumult once
again. This time, however, he's not alone. Lexi has secured himself
a place in the tournament, as has Jared, a young player the two men
have been coaching. With his loved ones accompanying him, Brian
agrees to play. Lexi promises they'll take on the tournament
together, as a team, but Brian knows better than anyone that on the
grass, it's every man for himself.
Puddledown, England The year is 1948, the war is over and the
evacuees have gone home, although rationing continues. For Hugo
Wainwright, who escaped conscription and never had to fight for his
country, very little has changed. He lives a quiet life away from
the big cities, knowing his desires for other men will lead to
disaster if he ever acts on them. Tommy Granger spent his service
on the battlefields of France. He experienced it all: the bloody
horrors of war, and the chaos of Dunkirk. Finding employment as
groundskeeper in the woods on the outskirts of Puddledown, he lives
in solitude, trying to forget all the terrible things he's seen.
When Hugo stumbles over a body not far from Tommy's cabin, both
men's lives change forever. There's a killer in the woods, and the
townsfolk are sure Tommy is the culprit. Can Hugo unmask the
murderer and prove the innocence of the man he's falling for, or
are the deadly consequences of Tommy's past about to catch up to
him and separate the two men forever?
At twenty-two years old, World No.6 and England's No.1, Brian
Scagill has the tennis world at his feet. Last year's semifinalist,
this year Brian enters England's biggest tournament determined to
win. A Grand Slam on home turf is calling to him and he's not going
to let anything stand in the way of victory - certainly not a cute
Croatian who doesn't even play in the same league.
