Magic Hour

During a hot summer in 1990, a young man, Ray, moves into his aunt's Venice Beach home to find his direction in life. While there, he is befriended by some local criminals, a group of five brothers. Ray happens to have a VHS camcorder and so the oldest brother, Stan, decides to pay him to film home videos of the boys so that they can have the memories for later in life. During this time, Ray spends a lot of quality time with the brothers and they become somewhat of a surrogate family to him. One night, while Ray is asleep on their couch, the brothers come back to the house after robbing a dive bar. However, they were followed by the bar owner's son. A violent fight then takes place, with Ray experiencing the whole, bloody scene. Now that he has witnessed too much of the seedier side of the family's lifestyle, Ray becomes an official part of the family, vowing to keep their secrets quiet.
