The ill-planned heist goes terribly wrong and Reggie, in a state of panic, shoots the store manager who also happens to be the owner’s son, Albert. Justine and the boys escape with several thousand dollars worth of jewelry, leaving a critically injured man on the floor.
When Justine realizes they shot a close friend of Justine’s mother, Denise (JENNIFER GRANT), Justine is torn between telling her mother the truth—a truth that will inevitably send the boy she loves more than anything to prison—and her allegiance to her first real boyfriend. Believing what Brent and Reggie tell her—that she was as culpable in the robbery as they were and will surely go to prison too—Justine decides to keep silent. But hiding a terrible, dark truth changes a person, and the first one to realize this change is Denise.
