Summary

An unscrupulous college counselor named Rick Singer preyed on the desperation of some of the country's wealthiest families-- deeply insecure parents who would do anything to get their kids into name-brand colleges in order to maintain their own A-list status. LaPorte offers a soap-opera-slash-sneak-peek-behind-the-curtains at America's richest social circles. The result is an examination of the cutthroat world of college admissions; and a parable of American society in 2019, when the country is run by a crass tycoon-- a world where the rich get whatever they want, however they want it. -- adapted from jacket
