He is whoever you want him to be.

Brooks Rattigan is a high school senior who dreams of getting into Yale University. His father, Charlie, would prefer he attend the University of Connecticut, which has offered him a full scholarship. Brooks works at a sandwich shop alongside his best friend, Murph, a programmer. The boy is crazy about Shelby Pace, the most popular girl in school, but his circle doesn't see her as a good match for him. Brooks needs money to pay for his studies at Yale and isn't sure how to get it. Together with Murph, he decides to launch an idea that could solve his financial problem, although things don't go as he expected. The film is directed by Chris Nelson and stars Noah Centineo.
