Kano, Orson, Tinto and Dodge are members of a fraternity gang engaged in petty crimes. Their lives take a different turn when they stumbled into a syndicate led by Banjo and got themselves involved in a drug deal gone wrong.
Soon after, a television crew got hold of the wild goose chase between the two gangs and sensationalized the drama unfolding right before their viewers. As Kano and his gang are holding on to their dear lives, their different backgrounds in life would soon unravel the real reason why they chose a dangerous and unruly path.
