Band of the Hand Pics

The movie begins with introductions of the main antagonists as they are each arrested and charged as adults for their heinous and multiple crimes. The opening scene is a full-scale gang war led by two of the more notorious gang leaders in Miami. Ruben Pacheco (Michael Carmine), leader of the "Home Boys", and Moss Roosevelt (Leon Robinson), leader of the "27th Ave Players", are arrested for leading the riot. Next, Carlos Aragon (Daniele Quinn) and his drug lord boss Nestor Quintana (James Remar) are making plans for a large purchase of cocaine. He enters a car driven by his girlfriend Nikki (Lauren Holly), goes to the meeting point to make the buy, and is set up (having bought drugs from an undercover drug unit). Nikki, seeing an officer trying to come to the car, flees, and leaves Carlos in police custody as the scene fades out. Fourth is J.L. "Crazy" MacEwen (John Cameron Mitchell). He sits on his bike on the side of a building, suddenly explosives he set up blow a large hole in the side of the school he attends he seems remorseless as he calmly rides his bike home. He finds his sister sitting outside because his abusive alcoholic father is beating his mother. Sick of being under such abuse, he pulls a gun and points it at his father who dares him to shoot. He does so twice, without hesitation. He sits outside with his little sister gun in hand waiting for the police to come and arrest him. Lastly, a prisoner attempts to escape a medium security facility after striking one of the Correction Officers. His name is Dorcey Bridger (Al Shannon), and is known for trying to escape every prison facility he's ever been in. After being arrested, they are all transported to Dade County Youth Hall to be sentenced as adults, and sent to Prison. Even in the confines of the center, they still show contempt for authority (selling drugs, causing disturbances). The teens are all abruptly gathered and placed in a transport truck, and shipped to an unknown destination, fighting and trying to escape as they go. Nikki comes to the youth hall to see Carlos, and she is told that they have no file for him- even though she just saw him there the day before.

As the 5 are transported they introduce themselves to each other somewhat and continue to show disdain and posturing towards one another. They find out that Crazy has Selective mutism from his abuse and will not speak but gives howls and screams. The truck stops abruptly and they are put onto an air boat and taken deep into the Everglades where they are dumped in a remote area and left alone seemingly to die. As tensions rise and old rivalries come to a head Ruben and Moss try to kill one another. Suddenly a man in black named Joe (Stephen Lang) comes and forcibly separates the two. They begin to ask him questions and demand food and shelter from him to witch he replies "Everything you need is over there". He points to a set of bedrolls and survival gear before quickly disappearing into the woods. The group look through the packs and find survival gear they think is useless except for knives they sleep on the ground not knowing what to do. The next morning they awake to find Joe starting a fire with a Magnesium fire starter. He begins to explain the uses for some of the gear they have in the packs, as he pulls out a string of several fish from a nearby river, he begins to hear from Moss about how he's been in numerous youth programs and cannot be changed. Complaints from the group about the dangers of being in the swamp, the time they have to stay and the legality of having them there. Frustrated he throws his knife into the ground and begins to explain to them that he was given them instead of being sent to prison as a last-ditch effort at rehabilitation and that if they don't succeed they will die out here. He then tells them that where they stand is base camp. Even after the explanation and feeding them they still refuse to clear the area to make a shelter he replies "You guys slept good last night, fine by me".
