The youngster's confident his brother will buy his freedom and enjoys a weekend of partying with his captors; he even begins to form a bond with Johnny's right-hand man, Frankie (Justin Timberlake). However, after several days, the posse of friends begin to realise the severity of their crime when the police get involved and Zack's fate becomes uncertain. Bruce Willis and Sharon Stone co-star.
