Teenager Alys knows who she is and what she wants. Driven by the memory of her successful pro tennis dad, whose unexplained death haunts her, she serves for the match at the Girls’ Junior Championship at Wimbledon. Then collapses.
Out-of-her-body and in hospital, Alys is visited by her late father. With Daf’s help, she must work out who she is, what she wants, and whether to return to her body – and a life without tennis.
