Three law students—Mark, Todd, and Zola—realize they've been duped. Their third-tier, for-profit law school is a sham, leaving them drowning in debt with dim job prospects. But when they uncover the hedge-fund scheme behind their school, the friends see a chance to not only expose the truth, but to get out from under their crushing loans. Quitting law school just shy of graduation is a huge risk, but it may be their only shot at justice and financial freedom.
