description: Sydney Schuster was an easy target growing up; the bullies beat him up every day. Now, he's a millionaire with bullies for sons. He was willing to accept that fate (albeit with bitterness), but an opportunity arises. Syd's former tormentor, now a priest, hits him up for the money to save his school. Sydney hits back with an offer the priest could not refuse. With Syd's financial backing, Father John will run a new boarding school for ten inner-city teenagers. The kids, however, aren't just there to study. They're the guinea pigs in a social experiment. Their to break the bully/victim cycle, without breaking a few simple rules. If they succeed, they win five million dollars-half a million per student. But if even one rule is broken, no one gets a cent. By the end of the school year, few rules remain intact. The question is, how much will the judges find out? And how much will they tolerate?
