Coin Heist

In COIN HEIST, hard times have befallen a Pennsylvania prep school when it's discovered that the headmaster embezzled millions of dollars. Now, the headmaster is in prison, and the school is too broke to fund social clubs or even hold a formal dance anywhere else but the lunch room. But after a field trip to the US Mint in which it's revealed how misprint coins go for millions of dollars in auctions, four students -- popular girl Dakota (Sasha Pieterse), slacker musician Jason (Alex Saxon) (whose father was the headmaster), computer nerd Alice, and athlete/mechanic Max (Elijah Boothe) -- decide to band together, each for their own reasons, to hack and break into the US Mint and create their own misprint of the Michigan quarter, and sell it in auctions and use the money to save their school from going under. Along the way, as their plan hits snarls and as they avoid suspicious teachers hot on their trail, these four grow closer and start to see each other not as their cliques, but as unique individuals. They must find a way not to get caught by authorities of any kind, manage this feat while they're supposed to be at the formal dance, and convince anyone who might think they're just criminals that their motives are altruistic.
