Overview

Ben is a young man on the verge of marrying Jennifer, but his plans for a happy future are threatened by a past debt owed to the dangerous Mr. Vincenzo. To settle the score, Ben strikes a risky deal: his brother Charlie, a skilled helicopter pilot, will help transport drug kingpins from Mexico in exchange for clearing Ben’s debt and a cash bonus. As the brothers get drawn deeper into the criminal underworld, the promise of a clean slate and easy money quickly evaporates, setting the stage for betrayals and escalating danger. Young Rebels delivers a rough-and-tumble ride through crime, family loyalty, and the perils of getting in over your head.
