Cole is a DJ, and while he's not popular or famous, he does attract the eye of veteran DJ James (Wes Bentley).
But while Cole works with James to perfect his DJ skills, Cole also grows close to James's girlfriend, Sophie (Emily Ratajkowski), leading to tension between Cole and James. To make matters worse, Ollie, Squirrel and Mason get involved with a real estate venture with Paige (Jon Bernthal), and grow distant from Cole. With several paths he can take, Cole faces some tough decisions about how to make his future a happy and successful one.
We Are Your Friends helps close out the summer 2015 movie season alongside the likes of She's Funny That Way, American Ultra, Hitman: Agent 47, and Straight Outta Compton.

This is My Future

If you have a dream and it's made of everything that made you, hardship, friendship, so much love, that's your ticket to everything. This is my future.
