In a wealthy area of Long Island, Andy Trevor and Billy were inseparable for eighteen years; inseparable, that is, until Trevor got thrown in jail for selling drugs, a deal involving all three. Now its three years later, and Trevor is back, intending to stay only long enough to find his high-school sweetheart, Laura. Inevitably Trevor runs into his old friends and learns that Billy has become a young wise guy, and Andy is his unhappy lackey. To make things worse, Laura has turned to Billy in Trevor's absence. Trevor knows full well it's time to pack his bags and get out of town, but when he sees a chance to get revenge, he can't turn it down.
"The plot came from personal experiences mixed with fictional events. The flavor came from the friends and local characters I grew up with. There are large parts of me in each of the three main characters. Billy is the reality based wordly guy. Trevor is my righteous side. He thrives for high principle, and tries to understand things like life and love. Andy is my scared side. He's the kid who doesn't know who he is and who stiII Iives with his parents." (Rob Weiss)
