Back to top Synopsis

Johnny (played by Jesse Bradford), a young innocent dreamer, driven by his goal to race cars in North Carolina, finds himself penniless and hungry in Las Vegas.

After being ripped of by a female hustler propositioned by an older man, and generally jerked around, Johnny is pissed of and discouraged.

He meets Eric (played by Jordan Brower), who introduces Johnny to his street hustler friends: J.T>, Pez Boy, Scooby, Steven and others. They hype up their destitute life with quick talk, wild stories and wads of cash.

Eric and Johnny become friends, soul-mates, and brothers helping each other through the maze called life.

Reality is always lurking right behind fantasy and as Johnny soon discovers these boys are not living such a glamorous life. Filled with drugs, mobsters, hunger, loneliness, deceit, abuse and betrayal, these boys try to survive and Johnny is forced to ask himself: How far will he go for his dream?

Through all the grime and depression, two things hold themselves higher than the illusionary lights of Las Vegas. The strong friendship between Johny and Eric and Johnny's dream of escaping and becoming a race car driver.

These truths are constantly under siege, surrounded by fear and tension. Johnny struggles to stay focused through the arrest, tricks, sex, fighting and drugs while Eric is alwasy there by his side. Johnny learns about true love and friendship with prejudice.

Eric: Hi, this is the major cruise area right here, it kind of sucks for me because guys tricks are totally opposite. Inexperience in you is what they are looking for mostly. Sometimes I think they are like vampires searching for the fountain of youth. Drain, its a fucking drain.

Johnny: Maybe you should switch to girls.
Eric: Yeah, right.
Johnny: You are really just not attracted to girls at all, huh. Not just a little bit. Not even for money?
Eric: No
Johnny: Man, I don't get it man, I don't get it.

Steven: So, you completely straight or what?
Johnny: Of course, yeah aren't you?
Steven: Well, personally, I dig what but, but when it comes to work it is simply a matter of cashflow.
Eric: See, Steven is bisexual. Buy him something and have sex.
Steven: I'm a businessman, Johnny, the customer always 'comes' first
