"Cheat" follows a group of four friends as they lie, steal and cheat their way through an unjust school system. Handsome Davis (Trevor Fehrman) is the ring-leader and group strategist. Along with Sammy (Elden Henson), Victor (Matthew Lawrence) and Applebee/the crib master (Martin Starr), the guy who writes crazy small, these four avowed rebels have elevated cheating to an art-form. For them, it has become an empowering act of vindication in the face of academic tyranny.
