It's the ultimate challenge: breaking into the Ivy League.The hack:To get one deadbeat, fully unqualified slacker into the most prestigious school in the country.The crew:Eric Roth -- the good guy, the voice of reason.Max Kim -- the player who made the bet in the first place.Schwartz -- the kid genius already on the inside...of Harvard, that is.Lexi -- the beauty-queen valedictorian who insists on getting in the game.The plan:Use only the most undetectable schemes and techno-brilliant skills. Don't break the Hacker's Code. Don't get distracted. Don't get caught. Take down someone who deserves it.The stakes:A lot higher than they think.They've got the players, the plot, and soon -- the prize.It's go time.
