HOW WE ROLL

How We Roll small logo

How We Roll, based on professional bowler Tom Smallwood's life, centers on Tom, a stoic Midwest husband and dad who gets laid off from a car assembly line and makes the extraordinary decision to provide for his family by following his dream of becoming a professional bowler. As a skilled player, Tom knows that in bowling you get two chances; no matter what you do with the first ball, you get another one to make it right - the ultimate second chance. Keeping that in mind, Tom begins his new career with the loving okay from his wife, Jen, and the unfaltering support of Archie, his mentor and the proud owner of Archie's Lanes: Home of the Curly Fry. It remains to be seen if Tom will strike it big on the Pro Bowler circuit, but right now, the pins are set, he's taking his second shot and it's 300 or bust!
