Five friends fill their idle hours with petty crime. One day, a professional gangsta and his charming girlfriend convince them to participate in a major bank heist. When the authorities appear on the scene, the youngsters - who are in over their heads - are caught. The youths are surprised when, instead of being punished with the usual imprisonment in juvenile hall or jail, they are sentenced to serve a year and a half at an experimental reform school. About the Picture This! Entertainment ""Coming of Age"" collection: The films in the ""Coming of Age"" Collection are NOT overtly gay-themed. Rather, the Collection explores coming-of-age themes with this series of highly pedigreed films about youngsters fighting to survive in a world turned upside down by adults. The Collection showcases an international array of films that tap into the adolescent in all of us and rekindles those memories that have for better or worse shaped our development into adults. |
