Synopsis:

Larrikin Aussie comedian MICK MOLLOY (TV's The Late Show) is Jack Simpson - office-worker, drifter and total scammer. When he joins the local bowling club just to score free inner-city parking, little does he know he may become the key to the future of the club! With the Cityside Club in financial straits and shady developer Bernie Fowler (JOHN CLARKE, TV's The Games) breathing down its neck, the club is forced to enter a cash prize tournament. But with aging and ailing members, the team numbers are down. When they discover the enigmatic Jack on their books, they threaten to withdraw his membership and his car-park, if he doesn't play! With the battle lines drawn for a do or die match, the club's very existence now rests in Jack's hands.

Jack is a office worker whose big achievement in life is that he joined a bowling club solely to gain a free parking space close to his work. Over the years he has gone to great lengths to keep hold of this spot, including even signing up for bowling memberships under different aliases. When a ruthless businessman decides he wants to take over the bowling club, the elderly managers are determined to see to it that this doesn't happen. After checking the club records to enlist help in stopping the destruction efforts, they come across Jack, whom they've never met nor seen bowl, and force him on the job. If he can stop the businessman, he can keep his parking space.

When dwindling membership and increasing overheads makes a local bowling club and prime candidate for a takeover, it's all hands on deck to save the club, in what turns into an epic battle where young meets old, greed meets good and people rise to the occasion in extraordinary circumstances.
