You feelin’ bold? Let’s kidnap Frank Sinatra, Jr. No lark, no off-the-cuff comment. It’s a proposition to his friends from Barry Keenan (David Arquette, Larry McMurtry's Dead Man's Walk, Scream), a loser in his early twenties who sees middle class as a death sentence. Sure, his way out is a crime, but if it’s done smoothly, it can work. He can invest the ransom, become a millionaire and, in time, maybe even get into politics. Barry has it all worked out. His agreeable partners are John Irwin (Oscar and Emmy nominee William H. Macy, Fargo), a patriotic ex-Navy all-American, and Barry’s high school buddy, Joe Amsler (Ryan Browning, Buffy the Vampire Slayer). They have the perfect victim the son of one of the most famous, wealthiest, and well-connected artists in the world. Besides, Junior (Thomas Ian Nicholas, American Pie) is only 19, still vulnerable, amiable, and willing to please. He’ll keep quiet. As far as his budding career goes, the headlines can’t hurt.
