Synopsis

Gravesend, the tough Coney Island neighborhood, is the setting as four friends do the usual Saturday night thing by hanging out in Ray's basement in a house he shares with his older brother Mark. When Mark comes downstairs to tell the guys to keep it down, Zane points a gun that he thinks is unloaded. Suddenly, Mark is dead and the friends decide it would be better to hide the body than depend on the cops. For $5000, JoJo the Junkie agrees to bury the body which they hide for the time being in the trunk of a car as they try to come up with the cash. They rob a convenience store, press old girlfriend for money, and hit up drug dealers. All told, by the end of the night, two more bodies have to be disposed of and the friends have begun to fight amongst themselves.
