Plot: Running away from home to pursue his dreams of becoming a professional race car driver in North Carolina, naive young Johnny (Jesse Bradford) makes an ill-fated stop in Las Vegas, hoping to win a quick buck at the casinos. This bad plan turns out to be worse than Johnny ever imagined, when he gets a fast-track tour of the Vegas underbelly: in quick succession, he's robbed, propositioned by creeps, and beaten up. Penniless and depressed, Johnny meets Eric (Jordan Brower), a young gay boy who turns tricks to get by. Eric introduces Johnny to his posse of friends, who include Steve (Jonathan Taylor Thomas), a young bisexual who is also a hustler; and Veronica (Darryl Hannah), a former prostitute who used to be friends with Eric's deceased mother.At first, Johnny has trouble trusting his debauched new friends; however, as time passes, he and Eric build a relationship and become very close. Eric helps initiate Johnny into the world of heterosexual street hustling, and Veronica helps teach Johnny how to give a woman pleasure. But problems arise as Eric's feelings for Johnny develop into something Johnny can't reciprocate: love and sexual desire. The film was executive produced by Gus Van Sant, director of DRUGSTORE COWBOY and MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO, and Nikolas Perry definitely
