Melissa, Wilf, and Bondi are the three students chosen to compete for a ten thousand-dollar scholarship, solving clues that lead them to various locations around Chicago. At first they work independently, but it doesn't take long before each begins to wonder whether the competition is a sham. It's only by secretly joining forces that the trio is able to uncover the truth behind the Ambrose Deception - a truth that involves a lot more than just a scholarship.
