Carrie Soto is fierce, and her determination to win at any cost has not made her popular. But by the time she retires from tennis, she is the best player the world has ever seen — twenty Grand Slam titles, every record shattered. She sacrificed nearly everything to become the best, with her father Javier as her coach since the age of two.

But six years after her retirement, Carrie finds herself sitting in the stands of the 1994 US Open, watching her record be taken from her by a brutal, stunning player named Nicki Chan.

At thirty-seven years old, Carrie makes the monumental decision to come out of retirement for one last year — to reclaim her record. Even if the sports media never liked "the Battle-Axe." Even if her body doesn't move as fast as it did. And even if it means swallowing her pride to train with a man she once almost opened her heart to: Bowe Huntley.

Carrie Soto is back, for one epic final season.
