First Round Down (2017)

A decade ago, Tim Tucker was more than just a name; he was the prodigious captain of the Hamilton Steelhawks junior hockey team, destined for the major leagues. His prowess led them to the illustrious Sterling Cup championship, but it was a victory marred by a brutal injury that benched his rising career. Dashed dreams and a shattered spirit sent Tim fleeing to the urban sprawl, leaving behind his past and his teenage brother, Matty, now preferring the more mature moniker, Matthew. With the weight of responsibility pulling him back to Hamilton, Tim finds himself battling emotional struggles, scraping by as a pizza delivery guy, with his past occasionally peeking through the veil of his new life. The impending Sterling Cup championship tenth anniversary gala and charity event stirs old memories and familiar faces, particularly Kelly Quinn - the daughter of Tim's former coach and his love interest before his life took an unexpected detour. A chance encounter rekindles past affections, despite Kelly's recent engagement to a man named Winston, who stands as a stark contrast to everything Tim was and is. However, Hamilton brings more than just nostalgia for Tim. His past life in the big city catches up with him in the form of Sonny, his former boss. Contrary to what Tim allowed people to believe, with Sonny's assistance, he had carved a niche for himself in Montreal's underworld as a hitman. Sonny, harboring a nefarious job that demands a cruel kind of justice, seeks out Tim's deadly expertise. Trapped between his past and future, Tim must navigate through the minefield of his old life, with the wellbeing of Matthew, Kelly, and an unsuspected target hanging in the balance. A web of secrets, ex-lovers, old scores, mobsters, and debts converge in Hamilton, forcing Tim to make a choice that could shatter the life he's trying to rebuild. And amidst all this chaos, the target, aware of his life hanging by a thread, might just have a role to play in Tim's ultimate decision. This crime comedy caper blurs the lines between past and present, love and duty, culminating in a thrilling showdown that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
