Tim Matheson is Dreamer in this Rocky-like inspirational drama. Instead of boxing, the sport in question is bowling. "Dreamer" is a ten-pin whiz in his small town, but can he make it in the Big Time?

If you like bowling, Dreamer should be right up your...right up your.... (official distributor synopsis)
