How to cope

A screenplay summary.
How to cope is about 2 young people, Johnny Jiminez, an east L.A. native, and Jimmy Westnee, a white kid from the suburbs, who become best friends and party all over downtown and East L.A. They become as close as brothers but when Jimmy dies of a drug overdose, his parents bond with Johnny at the funeral and decide to let him come stay with them as part of the coping process. Because they hadn't seem him much in the past year, they figure Johnny can fill them in on what kind of life he was living.
When Jimmy's sister comes to visit, they become romantically involved. The parents want to set Johnny on the right path of school and work, and he soon becomes resentful and falls in with a local gang. There is pressure on his new parents from peers and relatives suggesting that they are making a mistake in their grieving process by letting Johnny stay with them. On one last rebound where things are starting to go peaceful, Johnny breaks down and admits that he is the one who turned him on to drugs and maybe their son would still be alive if it wasn't for him.
