Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Teenaged Zack Mazursky (Yelchin) is beaten and kidnapped by Johnny Truelove (Hirsch)—a small-time drug dealer trying to make it big-time—and his thugs, while walking through Cahuilla Community Park. Held as a marker until his older brother Jake (a very scary Foster) can repay a debt, he befriends his captors and becomes part of the group...or so he is led to believe. Alpha Dog is based on the real-life kidnapping and subsequent murder of Nick Markowitz. Actual names and places have been changed. (Jack Kelley)
