The film tells the story of a teenage drug dealer committing suicide in an ideal city. After his death, three local teenagers appear to search for what this man left and take away his remaining grain stocks. In order to do this, the duo kidnaps only a young child so they know it's a really wrong move.
The story of the film: Studio money chasing after the cult-film audience and getting all the superficial elements right while missing the spirit entirely. It's the cinematic equivalent of Candlebox.

Whether the good performances, or sheer twisted attitude it presents to the same old formula, I enjoyed it, and the story.
Sadly, despite Bell's eye-catching performance and Glenn Close's disturbing Stepford Wife portrayal, I found this messy movie as self-absorbed as most of its characters.
It's neither funny nor sad, and it's filled with cheats, phony come-ons and red herrings.
