Film Synopsis: Inspired by actual events in the life of Jesse James Hollywood, Alpha Dog revolves around a small time drug dealer in San Gabriel Valley, California, during the late 1990s, who becomes the youngest man ever to appear on the “FBI’s Most Wanted” list. At 20, Johnny Truelove aka Hollywood (Emile Hirsch) is a young man whose home is a popular gathering place for his friends to do drugs and have sex. But all good things come to an end when one of Johnny’s drug dealers, Jake Mazursky (Ben Foster), owes him $1,200. Jake’s 15-year old half-brother, Zack (Anton Yelchin), is kidnapped and held as collateral to get the money. Zack’s status is ambiguous–he’s offered the opportunity to run at one point and turns it down, not wanting to get Frankie (Justin Timberlake) (the gang member with whom he’s bonded most strongly) in trouble. He is held by the gang for several days, during which he parties, loses his virginity, and most significantly, is witnessed being held by Truelove’s posse by upwards of 40 fellow partiers, drug customers and random bystanders. However, when the police get involved, things change for Johnny and his gang.
