The man who said "I'd rather be lucky than good" saw deeply into life. There are moments in a match when the ball hits the top of the net and for a split second it can either go forward or fall back. With a little luck, it goes forward and you win... or maybe it doesn't, and you lose.

One-time tennis pro, Chris Wilton (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) was used to falling just short in his life. But when he befriends Tom Hewett (Matthew Goode) and marries his sister, Chloe (Emily Mortimer), the doors are opened to the kind of money and success that Chris had onlce only dreamed of. Chris should have settle for happiness, but he is torn by his attraction to Tom's impossibly beautiful and sensual fiance, Nola (Scarlett Johansson). The attraction turns to an obsession that forces Chris to make a critical choice. Now everything in his life hinges on if Chris falls short again... and whether or not his luck runs out.

A drama about ambition and obsession, the seduction of wealth, and the often discordant relationship between love and sexual passion.
