Described by the streamer as a "provocative new drama set in the world of elite tennis", the series is written by Hania Elkington and explores the "intense rapport" between tennis prodigy Justine Pearce (newcomer Ella Lily Hyland) and her maverick coach Glenn Lapthorn (Turner).
Ella Lily Hyland as Justine and Harmony Rose-Bremner as Renee Okeye.
Justine had reached the semi-finals of the French Open as a teenager with Glenn at her side, but shortly afterward suffered a devastating injury which resulted in a shattered wrist and the end of her professional career.
The official synopsis continues: "Five years on, now aged 22, Justine is a physiotherapist at her old tennis academy, Longwood, alongside her former physio. It seems like she is finally healed, both physically and psychologically, from her humiliating downfall on the global stage.

"But when Justine makes an explosive allegation against her former coach, everyone at Longwood is forced to reconsider everything they thought they knew about Justine and Glenn's past success.
"Justine and Glenn's battle over the truth of their past reaches new heights as they both seek glory at the Grand Slam grass-court event of the year, and the stately world of professional tennis is rocked by lies, deceit, and a desperate bid for control."
