In the movie a young adult comes back from school to his hometown. I think he was in college playing baseball. When he gets back to his hometown his old friends are getting into drugs and the "gang" life. One of his friends is going down the right path with a job in the local general store. He tries to get the main character to not hang out with the other friends. They call make fun of the kid in the general store and give him ****. The main character ends up hanging around the bad seeds, smoking weed and partying. I also kind of remember the main character's love interest was now dating a rich man. I think that the main character and his friends end up committing a murder. The ending is not a happy one. I watched in on a movie channel either showtime, hbo, or encore.

Sounds a lot like "basketball diaries"
