Johnny is a Los Angeles drug dealer. He comes from a good family, owns his home, several cars and enjoys partying with his friends. Johnny is 19. When his friend Jake welches on a debt, Johnny and his boys kidnap Jake's 15-year-old brother Butch and hold him as a marker. Even though Butch has numerous chances to escape, he doesn't. He's enjoying partying with them, losing his virginity and having a good time - until something goes horribly wrong.

I loved this movie. Everything about it was amazing. The story line was absolutely brilliant (I know it was a true story). I think that Nick Cassavetes did a really good job on this one, parts of the movie reminded me of John Q. Emile Hirsch does an excellent job.
