IN THE GUTTER, when oft-fired Walt (Shamake Moore) lands a position tending bar and shoes at his local AlleyCatz bowling alley, he feels like he’s finally found a home. When money problems threaten the AlleyCatz, Walt is pressured by ex-pro and current drinking champion Skunk (D’Arcy Carden) to accept his role as the greatest bowler ever to walk this earth. While Walt’s love of big checks and in-your-face style of play dominates the pro tour, his adversaries, including ratings-obsessed news anchor Angelo Powers and recently retired bowling legend Linda “The Smasher” Curson (Susan Sarandon), they frantically try to extinguish Walt’s flame before it burns too bright.
