Twelve Joel Schumacher

Joel Schumacher directs this drama based on the semi-autobiographical novel by Nick McDonell. Set in the world of the super-rich in Manhattan's Upper East Side, the film is a disturbing chronicle of privileged urban adolescence. Despite his unlimited potential, rich kid White Mike (Chace Crawford) has dropped out of his senior year at high school and spends his days selling marijuana to his ultra-privileged friends.

But Mike's charmed existence hits a brick wall when his cousin is brutally murdered in an East Harlem project and his best friend is arrested for the crime. The supporting cast includes Emma Roberts, Ellen Barkin, 50 Cent and Rory Culkin. Keifer Sutherland narrates.
