Answer 2

Set in the year 1999, Johnny Truelove (Emile Hirsch) is a well known drug dealer in his hometown of Claremont, California. He is 19 years old and he owns a three-bedroom house, an expensive car, and has very loyal friends. Elvis (Shawn Hatosy), who does household chores for Johnny to pay his debt to him, is ridiculed for being subservient. Johnny's father, Sonny Truelove (Bruce Willis), supplies his son with marijuana.

At one of his many parties, Johnny meets with Jake Mazursky (Ben Foster), one of Johnny's loyal friends and part-time distributors. When Jake fails to collect a drug debt for Johnny, they fight over the money and in retaliation he breaks into Johnny's house. Johnny wakes up, gets his gun, and observes them, but does not confront them.

Late in the evening Jake's younger, 15-year-old half-brother Zach (Anton Yelchin) visits Jake, who is with his girlfriend. Zach tells them how frustratingly his mother treats him like a small child. Zach's mother, upset, phones and tells Jake he has to bring Zach home, which he does. Zach, after being caught with a bong and subsequently scolded by his parents, runs away from home.

Johnny and his friends Frankie (Justin Timberlake) and Tiko (Fernando Vargas) want to take revenge on Jake, but he is not home. They see Zach and kidnap him, hoping to use him as leverage to make Jake pay his debt. Zach is restrained at first, but soon this is undone, because it is unnecessary: Zach starts enjoying the situation. He is then taken to Frankie's house in Palm Springs, California and begins to feel he is amongst friends and enjoys the break from home life with his over-protective mother. He is given alcohol and drugs and loses his virginity. He is confident that Jake will soon pay his debt, and that he will then be released.

Johnny, worried about the legal problems kidnapping poses, calls his father's lawyer. Johnny is told that they can get life sentences for the kidnapping. Johnny asks Frankie to kill Zach. Frankie rejects the offer, after which Johnny claims that it was just a joke. However, Frankie suspects that it was serious and talks about it to one of the girls while they are hanging out at his dad's house. The girl tries to warn her mother but her mother is on Ecstacy at the time and doesn't listen.

Johnny offers Elvis a way to pay back his debt: kill Zach. Elvis agrees. Reluctantly, Frankie supplies shovels and duct tape, but refuses to help Elvis dig a grave. Elvis takes Frankie's friend Keith (Chris Marquette) along, pretending to give him a ride home. Reluctantly, Keith cooperates. While this is happening, Frankie offers Zach an opportunity to escape, but without explaining his concern. Zach does not feel in danger, and stays.

Sonny Truelove and family friend Cosmo (Harry Dean Stanton) show up at Johnny's girlfriend's house in an attempt to stop the situation escalating. They urge Johnny to release Zach and that they will work to get him a short sentence; a prospect Johnny finds unbearable.

Later that night, Elvis, Frankie and Keith take Zach in a car, pretending that they are taking him home but instead drive him to the shallow grave. Upon arriving at the site, two hikers walk past the group and Keith hugs Zach and goes to wait in the car. When they reach the gravesite Zach becomes more concerned but Frankie promises him that everything will be okay. As his mouth is wrapped with tape Zach gets more and more worried but Frankie gives him constant assurances that he will be fine. Suddenly, Elvis hits the back of Zach's head with a shovel, then proceeds to kill him with automatic fire from a Tec 9.

The epilogue shows the after-effects of the crime. Zach's mother Olivia (Sharon Stone) is interviewed; she talks about her suicide attempts and the loss that she has experienced from her son's murder. All of the gang members are currently serving time, with Elvis on death row. Johnny had fled the country to Paraguay but was located by Interpol and currently is awaiting trial. He is facing the death sentence if convicted.
