Will Shea and Andrea Dufresne faked identities to win scholarships to New England's elite Connaughton Academy. Wary of detection, they develop a high-stakes contest: whoever cons a classmate out of ten thousand dollars stays. Enter Brandt Rush, a wheeler-dealer who practically runs Connaughton, and the trio of unlikable characters is in place. Schreiber's plot is pure fun, deliciously convoluted, and full of surprises.
