- When ex tennis pro, Nick Irons (Vincent Van Patten) takes on the job of coaching 17-year-old Joel Robbins (Ben Jorgensen), he never expects to learn the meaning of success. Joel dreams of being a star and is determined to have a tennis career, but his overbearing father, Gill Robbins (Martin Sheen), has other ideas. Nick owes Gil a gambling debt and is forced by Gil to discourage his protege from following his dream.
