Spoilers ahead
Jack Simpson is a quick-witted, directionless layabout who works at an inner-city telemarketing firm. For years he has clung to three Cityside Lawn Bowls Club memberships, not to play, but to snag the free parking spaces he rents out to coworkers, a small hustle that funds his easygoing lifestyle. When a ruthless developer, Bernie Fowler, sets sights on turning Cityside into a pokies venue, the club’s future is cast into doubt. The Club President, Len Johnson, imposes a harsh new rule: every existing member must actually play, forcing Jack to show up on Saturdays and participate in the matches. He proves to be a natural, delivering sharp, precise shots, but his brash style and blunt manner soon grate on the older players.
