Story

Jake and his friends Kyle and Jarred pass their time hanging out in the courtyards of their high-rise development or in pool halls, talking about girls, watching porn and getting drunk. Jake is burdened by a dark secret that distances him more and more from the others and drives him into dangerous isolation. Rafael Kapelinski stages his debut film in contrasting black and white, moving in respectful proximity to his characters, brought to life vividly here by an ensemble cast of new discoveries and young talents.
