My Brother Wes

• Watchlist

Wes (10), has always looked up to his older brother Dre (13) and has always wanted to be included in his older brother's group of friends. As a playful prank to try and deter his younger brother from bad influences, Dre tries to coax Wes into stealing some sodas and snacks at the local bodega, not unlike a scenario in one of their video games, thinking that Wes will be too scared to accept. Without fully understanding the possible consequences, Dre ups the ante by convincing Wes to use a toy gun to hold up the store owner. Wes, not wanting to look like a little kid, acquiesces, and soon both boys find themselves at the bodega. They enter the store as their nerves start to get unhinged. Things turn terribly wrong, and the simple prank turns deadly when the bodega owner mistakenly shoots and kills Wes, thinking that the toy gun was real.
