A college prank turns deadly in this film noir thriller set in the mid-1950s. David (David Arquette), Joe (Jonah Blechman) and Ken (Jeff Gardner) think staging a fake kidnapping in broad daylight is a cool idea -- that is, until they encounter Leon (Stephen Baldwin) and Florence (Mickey Rourke), two real criminals who are planning a real crime. It's no longer a laughing matter when the boys become targets and must flee for their lives.
