When tragedy strikes, life can go either way. Two best friends from the poor side of town have been hellraisers since they were kids. When their buddy is accidentally killed, they begin a wild descent into endless nights of drinking, fighting, and chasing girls. As they begin turning to a life of crime, they meet a girl that might offer the way out to a better life. This award-winning film features unforgettable performances by Jeremy Sisto and Jaime Pressly, and an ending as powerful as it is shocking.

When their friend is tragically killed, two distraught teenagers (deftly played by Jeremy Sisto and Eric Michael Cole) get caught in a downward spiral of drugs, alcohol, and partying. Under the influence and in emotional pain, they embark upon a crime spree that looks to be leading them to inevitable destruction. However, when they meet a beautiful, mysterious woman (Jaime Pressly) who takes an interest in them, redemption becomes possible.
