But then her world falls apart. With the outbreak of war with Germany, Alice’s tennis career and life comes to a screeching halt. Alice is given the chance to fight back when the US Army sends her a request: Under the guise of playing in tennis exhibition games in Switzerland, she would be a spy for them. Alice aches for nothing more than to avenge what the war has taken from her and prove herself against this new opponent. But what awaits her might be her greatest challenge yet…
