Kingpins

When struggling actress Paula and her boyfriend Kaspars fall deep into debt, she hatches a plan to rob the bowling alley where she works. But on the night of the heist, nothing goes to plan — and Paula soon finds herself the prime suspect in a witch hunt led by her paranoid boss.

Locked inside the bowling alley with her scheming co-workers, she'll have to give the performance of a lifetime to prove her innocence and uncover the real thief.
