Billed as a darkly violent tale, this psychological thriller tells of an American teenager who tracks down, befriends and reawakens the homicidal tendencies of a Nazi war criminal living anonymously in a quiet suburban community.
Set during the summer after they graduated from high school, two friends struggle with adolescent angst and the impending end of their time as friends.
Set in 1961, the story tells of a Hungarian immigrant teenager (Brad Renfro) who comes under the wing of Billy Magic (Kevin Bacon), a Cleveland disk jockey who pays the boy $100 per week to do odd jobs for him, which include accepting cash outlays from promoters.
Joseph ("THE RIVER WILD") Mazzello and Brad ("THE CLIENT") Renfro team up for a bittersweet drama about two pre-teen boys and the friendship that develops between them even though one has contracted AIDS.
