Cocky and headstrong Johnny Truelove (Emile Hirsch) is living the wannabe gangsta's American dream as a drug dealer in the privileged neighbourhoods of LA. For Johny and his crew their existence is a heady blur of partying and looking for the next thrill. When raging hothead Jake (Ben Foster) fails to come up with money he owes Johnny, the situation escalates into a battle for dominance between the two and results in an ill-fated event with irreparable circumstances for all involved. For Johnny, the line between playing a gangsta and becoming one soon blurs, with very real consequences for everyone involved. (Icon Home Entertainment)
