See the films the platforms disagree about most →Based on a true story, a charismatic young drug dealer in Southern California kidnaps the younger brother of a client who owes him money. What begins as an impulsive act of intimidation quickly spirals out of control. The kidnapper's friends treat the situation as a joke, partying with the hostage, while the leaders slowly realize there is no way out of the crime that won't result in severe consequences.
