| Plot |
| Based on true events, Alpha Dog follows Johnny Truelove (Emile Hersch) in his rise and fall as a drug dealer. Johnny and his posse (Justin Timberlake, Shawn Hatosy, Fernando Vargas) kidnap Zach, a young teen (Anton Yelchin) to settle a drug debt. Zach is quickly inducted into a lifestyle of parties and drugs, but Johnny becomes increasingly angry about the situation. Meanwhile, Zach's druggie brother Jake (Ben Foster) is in more and more trouble with his father and stepmother (David Thornton, Sharon Stone). Zach spins out of control in his new life with Johnny and the gang. Trouble can't be far behind. Alpha Dog is based on the story of Jesse James Hollywood, one of the youngest men ever to be listed on the FBI's Most Wanted. |
