Synopsis/Details
Duncan Newcastle is going to make it in Hollywood. Possibly. Maybe not. Okay, probably not. But that's not going to stop him from trying, despite the wave of opposition that tries to convince him otherwise. But he better do something fast, because he's a month late on the rent, his job at a kid's pizza place is wearing him down, his girlfriend is trying to get him a job at her dad's pillow factory, and his grandfather has just died and left him a bowling alley. Wait, what?
Well, there's a catch, of course. If he wants to keep the bowling alley, he has to move back to Texas and run the place. Otherwise, it goes bye-bye. It would be an easy choice if the alley were making any money, but....
Duncan has to make a decision, and fast. Will he stay with the life he knows, start making pillows, and sleep comfortably at night? Or will he chuck it all, and stake his claim back home?
