One hot day. One bad decision. No backing out.

Seventeen-year olds Josh, Brendan, Tye, and Davis think they're just wasting another sunburned afternoon in their Las Vegas suburb—until Brendan loses a stash of weed he stole from his parents. Convinced his strict father will finally make good on his threat to send him to a school for wayward teens, Brendan sees only only one way out: replace what he lost before anyone notices.

It should be simple. It isn't.

What follows is a chaotic day of bad leads, awkward favors, desperate plans, and increasingly terrible decisions as the four friends scramble across the forgotten edges of Las Vegas looking for a way out of the mess they've created. But under the relentless desert sun, what begins as a teenage problem starts becoming far more dangerous.

Friendships strain. Tempers fray. And the line between almost grown and nowhere ready begins to dissappear.

Raw, darkly funny, and painfully honest, Alligator Cigarettes is not your typical coming-of-age story about friendship, pressure, and the kind of trouble that grows faster than you expect.
