The novel is inspired by the memoir of Alice Marble, a tennis star who became a spy. The story follows Alice through two timelines:

• The "Past-Tense Alice" chapters focus on her rise and fall in the tennis world prior to the Second World War. Alice begins playing tennis at 17, quickly becoming a top-ranked player, winning 18 Grand Slam championships. She faces obstacles, such as being called "husky" and "slow" by the press, and deals with a health crisis that takes her away from the sport for a time.
• The "Present-Tense Alice" chapters are set during the Second World War and highlight non-tennis elements of her life. Alice joins a physical fitness program for the Office of Civilian Defense, which leads to her becoming a spy, reporting on unpatriotic activity. She also works as an editor for a comic book series called "Wonder Women of History".
• During this time she marries and then loses her husband.
• She is eventually sent to Switzerland on a mission to gather proof against a man from her past whom she discovers is working with the Nazi party.

The novel includes various multimedia enhancements such as telegrams, articles, notes, and letters. The author notes that while the story is inspired by Alice Marble’s memoir, some of the details may be embellished or inaccurate, and that she chose to take Alice at her word when possible.
