SYNOPSIS
Sean’s a bright kid, but a bad student, a
troublemaker living in the pattern of his
brother, Trevor, and his brother’s
friends, a wild group of small-time drug
dealers and drop-outs led by the crazy but
charismatic Lee. After their meeting at a party, Sean
becomes infatuated with Jenny, a girl from
his neighborhood, two years his senior,
with good looks and a dark disposition.
Jenny travels the periphery of Trevor’s
circle, and has a reputation for doing
drugs and sleeping around. When Jenny
scorns Lee, worlds collide as Lee plans
revenge with Trevor’s help. Entangled by
circumstance and forced to act, Sean and
Jenny form a desperate alliance, upsetting
the balance of power within their social
sphere. The narrative explores these lives over the course of a week, revealing their
extraordinary character through the
ordinary routines of home, work, and
school.
