In THE GUTTER, when oft-fired Walt (Shameik Moore) lands a job tending bar and de-roaching 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-professional bowler and current alcoholic champion Skunk (D’Arcy Carden) to accept his role as the world’s greatest ever bowler. As Walt’s love of big checks and in-your-face style dominates the pro tour, his detractors, including ratings-obsessed news anchor Angel Powers and recently retired bowling legend Linda “The Crusher” Curson (Susan Sarandon), furiously try to extinguish Walt’s flame before which burns too hot.
