CGiii Comment
The injustice(s) of life...the obvious comparison is with Larry Clark - but less accomplished, and really rather boring.
Just a bunch of unlikeable kids who don't get their just desserts.
However, the gay character does shatter stereotypes - but, that's not enough to make this effort either interesting or worthy.

The(ir) Blurb...
A day in Athens, Arizona, as teens and twenty-somethings navigate life without a compass. Jimmy has gambling debts and sees a chance to steal and sell a dead-man's stash of drugs. The corpse's cousin smells a rat. Jessica, who is babysitting, abandons her charge to seek someone to defend her from a boyfriend angry that he's caught an STD. Corey is responsible for his teen sister, and he and his pal Pedro have been evicted, so they plot to steal a car, sell it, and get back in their apartment. Heather, an EMT, thinks her cop boyfriend is cheating, and she confides in her best friend. There's a party that night where all comes to a head. Guns and a baseball bat: is violence at hand?
