Synopsis

TV-movie based on a scandal in 1995 at a Chicago high school in which a high school teacher, Dr. Gerald Plecki, desperate for victory, coaches seven of his best students to compete in an elitist academic decathlon. When one of the team members gets hold of a copy of the test, a morally confused Plecki lets his team cheat in order to try to beat their rich cross-town rivals.
