Second Serve is a gripping tale told with humor and dignity. It tells a story of promise and disappointment. It spans decades, from the late 1950s until the 1990s.
The journey begins with the tale of Old Man Beck and his quest to win the US Open. Over the following years, he crosses paths with Jesse Kirkpatrick, a former tennis prodigy with a tough past. Together, they try to overcome physical limitations and the underhanded tactics of a former coach. The story makes you wonder, are people entitled to a second chance in life? When a tennis player misses his first serve, they are awarded a second serve.
