In a major academic contest against affluent Whitney High, the struggling kids of Steinmetz High School know they didn't have a chance. But one teacher and seven of his students had a dream. They knew they could succeed with the right amount of study, the right application, the right discipline... the right answers. When an opportunity to win presents itself, it's a no brainer-and for seven kids and their teacher, that could be the problem. (official distributor synopsis)
