First Round Down

First Round Down is a 2016 Canadian action comedy film written and directed by the Butler Brothers. The film stars Dylan Bruce as Tim Tucker, a former junior hockey star that disappeared after he blew out his knee in the Sterling Cup Championship final and returns home ten years later to look after his younger brother after his parents die.[1] Trying to keep a low profile Tim takes a job as a pizza delivery driver but it doesn't take long for word to get around that he's back in town, especially after he delivers pizza to his ex-girlfriend, Kelly (played by Rachel Wilson), the daughter of his former coach, who is also in town for the Championship reunion. Through a series of twists and turns, it's revealed that Tim worked as a hitman the last ten years and the coach is actually targeted by his old mob boss. Tim enlists the help of his best friend, Bobby (played by Rob Ramsay) to hatch a plan that will save himself and the coach by stealing $50,000 from the reunion, and win Kelly back once and for all.
