This is the true story of Kai Hansen, a Danish tennis player, forced to choose between his personal dreams and his commitment to his countrymen during the Nazi occupation of Denmark during World War II. Kai’s world is comfortably restricted to the tennis court and the luxuries of his elite status. He is unbelievably close to his dream of securing a spot at the European championships in Sweden; only one man stands in his way: Erik Bjarnson. Bjarnson is an aging tennis legend, but more importantly, he might be a Jew. The Nazis plan a massive deportation of the Danish Jews that may leave Kai with a defaulted win into the championships. Will Kai accept this fate and continue to live a life of shielded privilege, or will he risk his life and dream for the sake of his countrymen?
