Plot synopsis

Ethan Mao (Jun Hee Lee) is an Asian gay teen who is kicked out of his house after his stepmother Sarah (Julia Nickson-Soul) finds a gay pornographic magazine in his room and shows it to his father. On the street, Ethan is forced to become a hustler for money. Soon, he meets Remigio (Jerry Hernandez), a teen hustler and drug dealer, and the two become friends and live together.

Ethan and Remigio plan to go to Ethan's old home over the Thanksgiving holiday (when Ethan knows everyone will be away visiting other family) to get money and Ethan's deceased mother's necklace -- which he feels is the only thing he has to remember her by. But when the family returns to the house to pick up a forgotten gift -- while Ethan and Remigio are inside -- they are forced to take everyone hostage.

The plan is to hold Abraham (Ethan's father), Sarah, Josh (Kevin Kleinberg) (Ethan's stepbrother) and Noel (Ethan's younger brother) in the home until the next day when the banks open and Sarah can go to the safety deposit box and retrieve Ethan's mother's necklace. Everything goes smoothly until Sarah leaves for the bank and decides to call the police.

As the police surround the house, Ethan and Remigio are forced to make a choice about how everything will come to an end.
