Scope and Contents

At a funeral, four adults remember their days as middle school racketeers: Forced to sell candy bars, they come up with a scheme to sell homework and give the candy bars away as part of the deal. After their first success, the friends come up with more deals: picture sales, girls' kisses, massage parlors, and betting pools. At the height of their financial success they change course to save a dying, impoverished classmate. 80 minutes.
