The next day, Johnny, Frankie, and Tiko decide to go to Jake personally and collect the money with the threat of violence. Later that night, Jake and his gang break into Johnny's house, stealing his flat-screen t.v., breaking his backyard window and defecating on Johnny's carpet. In retaliation, Johnny gets Jake fired from his job by ratting on him to his boss that Jake is on drugs. Jake tells Johnny that he'll never pay him the money. A heated argument is held between the two, which results in a violent fight that Frankie and the gang break up.

After a failed attempt at asking for the money from his parents, Olivia (Sharon Stone), and Butch Mazursky, he goes over to Johnny's house where Johnny is having a party. Another associate of the gang is Jake Mazursky (Ben Foster), who owes Johnny a $1200 drug debt. Johnny owns his own house where he holds meetings and parties. Johnny's father, Sonny Truelove (Bruce Willis), supplies his son with marijuana, from which Johnny makes a fortune dealing and selling. The film demonstrates internal gang dynamics and social context that contribute to the events leading to kidnap and murder. It tells the story of Johnny Truelove (Emile Hirsch), a young drug dealer in Claremont, California and his circle of friends, which includes Frankie Ballenbacher (Justin Timberlake), Tiko 'TKO' Martinez (Fernando Vargas) and Elvis Schmidt (Shawn Hatosy).
