For extra spending money Julep doesn't rely on her dad - she runs petty scams for her classmates while dodging the dean of students and maintaining an A (okay, A-) average.But when she comes home one day to a ransacked apartment and her father gone, Julep's carefully laid plans for an expenses-paid golden ticket to Yale start to unravel.
