Pete Holmes stars as blue-collar worker Tom Smallwood, who takes a chance on himself, after losing his job and embarking on his dream of becoming a professional bowler.Much like bowling, Tom gets a second chance and has the support of his family as he finally gets a shot to live out his dream.  “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,” the series description says. “Keeping that in mind, Tom begins his new career with the loving okay from his wife, Jen, the unfaltering support of Archie, his mentor and the proud owner of Archie’s Lanes: Home of the Curly Fry, the cautious backing of his protective mom, Helen, and the encouragement of his son, Sam.
