Poor but brilliant college student Tracy needs straight A's to get into a top law school that will forgive her mountain of academic debt so she can be a lawyer for the poor. With the economic odds stacked against her, she tries to rationalize her job writing term papers for other wealthy students, including Roy, a lazy hockey player, and Nadiya, an equally brilliant Ukrainian student deficient in English. But she's not sure she can do it. When We Get Good Again explores the current age in which personal integrity seems to be eroding before our eyes, and each new days seems to bring new headlines about politicians who lie as naturally as they breathe, and parents who buy their child's admission into the college of their choice. In a world of privilege and deprivation, is it still immoral to cheat in order to level a playing field that is already supposed to be flat?
