Like many privileged pockets of the country, the college admissions process ignites panic every fall in this bucolic waterfront New England town, where money, gaming, and in one case, blood and deceit, are the tools used to win an ultra-coveted prize-admittance to a top-rated school. Maggie wants her kids to go to good schools, places that fit their quirks and needs, places unlike like where she went, a big university where she and her fellow students enjoyed the freedom to sleep most of the day and befriend bottles of tequila. Her husband Frank, however, went to Yale. And their kids, according to Frank, would go to Yale whether they wanted to or not. This is the story of conflicting values, hysterical diversions, teenage hostility, the lure of prestige, adolescent angst, parental delusions and the consequences of naked fraud.
