Ten West poster, a half-eaten pancake on a plate with syrup and a fork

TEN WEST

Set inside a run-down roadside diner on one of America’s busiest highways, Ten West flips the typical bank robbery setup on its head as a fantasy football loser serving his 24-hour pancake-eating punishment gets caught in a stick-up—unfolding into a wildly absurd, darkly comic story about desperation, loyalty, and just how far men will go to avoid getting kicked out of their league.
