this film is very reminiscent of alpha dog... i would put money on it that the adaptation is about the young lad Nicholas Mankowski who was kidnapped and murdered by Jesse Hollywood and his crew.. over a debt by Nicholas Markowski's brother Ben... its too much like the film alpha dog not to be.. nick was kidnapped by Hollywood ,rugge Hoyt and others because Ben Markowski would not pay up a drug debt.. at first they beat the boy up but then realised the seriousness of what they had done by kidnapping him started to panic ...feeding him Valium and pot to keep him calm they moved nick from house to house .. after 3 days of this they told the young lad they were going to take him home ..put him in a car and drove him to lizards creek .. smashed the young lad over the head with a shovel and put him in a shallow grave ...then the Hoyt monster took out a tec-9 automatic machine gun and riddled the young lad with bullets... Nicholas Markowski was found days later by passing hikers .... r.i.p. Nicholas Markowski..
