Birmingham SHOUT Gay + Lesbian Film Festival 2009

David, George, and Greg, best friends since high school, make up 'The War Boys.' They used to perch on the US-Mexican border, waiting to spot illegal immigrants who were trying to run into the United States. Sometimes, without a thought for the plight of the immigrants, the boys chased them across the wasteland and back across the border - just for fun. It was just one of those games boys played to make themselves feel big. But high school's over now. David is unexpectedly home from his freshman year of college, and the War Boys have been reunited. Now the boys come up with a new plan -- they steal a truck from David's father's trucking company, filled with what they believe to be black market televisions. Their plan to sell them, make a quick buck, and move to New York is complicated, however, when the contents of the truck prove to be much more sinister than the boys had thought. Meanwhile, new feelings and relationships are forming between them, their friends, and their families. The young vigilantes come to realize that they are as vulnerable and as helpless as the immigrants they once chased across the border.
