The younger man becomes distracted as he falls for his mentor's girlfriend (Emily Ratajowski) and puts his future at risk. Also with Alex Shaffer, Shiloh Fernandez, Jonny Weston and John Bernthal. Directed by Max Joseph. [1.36]

SEX/NUDITY 7 - A woman lies on top of a man in the back seat of a car (both are clothed) and we see her grimacing face and much of her breasts bouncing in a scoop neckline as she thrusts downward, facing the camera (we see only his head); she asks where his "nuts" are and he does not answer. A woman meets a man at a carnival and says that her boyfriend ditched her; she wiggles and dances, they kiss passionately, he picks her up, carries her to a dark bedroom where he lies on top of her on the bed and then the shot changes to him shirtless as he kisses her and we see her bare shoulders as they kiss and the scene ends as the man begins to thrust (sex is implied); she is shown wearing a sleeveless top and he is shirtless in the morning. A clothed man sits with a woman on his lap in a curtained booth at a club and the woman is seen wearing a strapless top as they kiss for several seconds and the woman bounces.
► A woman wearing a tight spandex dress that reveals cleavage rubs against a man as they dance in a club. A woman at a strip club bar wears a bikini bottom as the camera focuses on her back (we see her bare buttocks, legs and her bare back and arms, as well as breasts briefly and from an angled side view) as a man stuffs dollar bills into her bikini bottom; another woman wears a bra and panty briefs as she walks past the man in the background and we see a pair of thighs and legs as someone walks by. About a dozen women at an apartment pool party wear bikini (we see several jiggling breasts, backs, buttocks and thighs). A DJ at a pool party mixes music and the camera zooms into a woman's bosom in a low-cut top that reveals deep cleavage and breastbone as she dances, bounces and jiggles. Women at a party wear short-shorts and many of the women wear bikini and halter tops that reveal cleavage while some women wear bikinis that reveal buttocks in close-up as they walk away from the camera; one shot features six women wearing short-shorts while dancing. A woman wearing a tight sleeveless tank top over a tight sports bra walks toward the camera and both garments reveal the outlines of breasts. A woman wearing short-shorts that show the bottoms of her buttocks walks away from the camera. A man wears his jeans sagging in two scenes, revealing his underwear to the middle of his buttocks and he often appears shirtless, with tattoos on his shoulder and chest and abdomen. Several men appear shirtless in a long shot. A man lies in a bed with a sheet covering his abdomen and genital area, revealing his bare chest as a male friend lies in a bed face down across the room with his bare back and chest revealed as he wakes up. A man stands in a shower stall with his back to the camera and we see his bare back and upper buttocks for a few seconds. Four men strip to their underwear and jump in a swimming pool. One man wears briefs, another wears biker shorts, and two wear boxers (we see full nude bodies except for the area covered by underwear). A biology book picture of a nude woman shows full frontal nudity, indistinct pubis and no pubic hair. A few scenes outside clubs and on dance floors feature women wearing low-cut tops and miniskirts, short dresses, or nearly legless shorts that all reveal cleavage and bare legs. A large crowd scene during summer features women wearing midriff tops, tube tops, tank tops, bikini tops, and most of the women wear short-shorts in medium-distance shots and long shots (we see several instances of cleavage and bare backs, bare legs to the thighs and a few shirtless men).
► A woman pouts in a sexually suggestive facial expression throughout many scenes in the film. A woman in a washroom sits on a sink as a man runs his hands along her sides and back and the scene ends.
► A man at a party says about a woman that flunked out of college that all the guys in the dorm saw her breasts. A man tells male friends after a party that he thinks he had sex with a woman. A man says that a woman had a finger up his rectum. A man says that the major industry in Southern California is the porn industry. Rave promoters hustle college-aged girls for their phone numbers and ask them to attend a rave; one of the men tells an attractive girl if her friends look like her, to bring them all. A man tells another man that he is tired of the second man masturbating "Five feet from my pillow." A woman says, "I love you" in a cell phone message. The background lyrics of a song repeat "Making love" two dozen times. A woman jokingly tells a male friend that her managers at the coffee shop are all hitting on her.

VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - Three men awaken after a party and find a fourth man gray-faced and blue-lipped, while we hear that he had used a large quantity of drugs the night before, which was unusual for him; they shake him, panic and call the police and then the camera cuts to a funeral that is blurred where we hear mumbled words and see a few mourners dressed in black and one man stares blankly as we see from the viewpoint of inside the grave and then from an aerial view, and the man shovels a shovelful of dirt onto the coffin.
► A flashback shows two men pushing each other and cuts to a close-up of one of them with blood on his temple and side of his mouth. After a fight a man has deep red scratches on his cheek and the corner of his mouth. A man pushes another man into a large swimming pool where they fight under water until other men jump in and separate them. Two men fight in a washroom and after a few punches, one man throws the other man in a shoulder throw, cursing and shouting; the injured man has a bloody mouth and cheek. A man slaps another man so hard in the face for a rude remark about a woman (please see the Sex/Nudity category for more details) and the second man falls down and the scene ends. On TV, an MMA fighter has another MMA fighter down on the mat in a pin for several seconds and the pinned man struggles, but cannot get up. A man aims a nail gun at a male friend, but does not fire it.
► Two men that we hear are under the influence of PCP (please see the Substance Use category for more details) look at a cartoonish painting of a woman astronaut with bright red lips and the men see the eyes move and the lips blow a kiss; one of the men continues to hallucinate and sees bright paint drip from a painting in several colors, flow across the floor, and slide up onto people until the people become cartoons of themselves.
► After a party, a man says that his brain is bleeding. An animated beating heart is projected onto the chest of a dancing man. We see an X-ray of a beating heart in two scenes. Four twentysomething electronic dance music and rave promoters complain and argue about their music and their chances for leaving the boring Valley and becoming famous; they play loud music at several shows that include fireworks that fill the screen with bright lights and we hear roaring crowds and see them jump up and down and dance. Several scenes in clubs and a large outdoor rave feature loud electronic dance music (EDM) with a pounding beat accompanied by men and women jumping and dancing. A CGI sequence explains that a DJ playing EDM affects the audience's hearts emotionally and physically and that EMD playing at 128 beats per minute synchronizes with the average human heart rate. On a wall in a bedroom, we see a watercolor painting of three pistols beside a flyer containing a black skull and crossbones. After a pool party, the house of four men and their patio look trashed. A man records harsh everyday sounds for an EDM tack, including a zipper in use, a coin spinning, sounds of electricity from high tension wire towers, and a carpenter's nail gun being shot.
► A man in a bar rushes to the washroom where he sticks his face into a ceramic toilet bowl and we hear and see him vomit yellow material twice. A man spits on the ground and we hear it, but cannot see what he spit.
