A journey into a rundown Washington, D.C., neighborhood to buy marijuana turns deadly for two middle-class teenagers--one Black, one white--when an undercover cop turns up dead and the two boys realize that they have stumbled into a conspiracy of mammothproportions
Chaos Theory is a thriller set against the background of Washington, D.C., in the mid-1990s - a city on the brink of economic, social, and moral collapse.
Jason Rourke, who is white, and Dennis Monroe, who is black, are good kids and good friends. One night, on a dare, they drive to a blighted part of Washington to buy a little marijuana. But it isn't their night, and the deal goes terribly wrong. Before it's over, a shot is fired, and the two just barely get away, leaving a small-time drug dealer lying wounded in the street.
Their troubles are only beginning. The next morning, Jason and Dennis learn that the incident with the drug dealer was far worse than it seemed. Finding themselves suspects in a bizarre homicide, the two are forced to flee, leaving their families terrified and confused. And what started out as a relatively innocent moment of adolescent mischief soon turns into a nightmarish, life-threatening ordeal, one that eventually draws these sheltered teenagers into a citywide scheme of murders and cover-ups that may involve some of Washington's most prominent - and most trusted - public officials.
