The trailer
In the trailer, Matthew Modine, who plays Singer, is shown having a conversation with a client.
They ask, "I just want you to walk me through the whole thing again and how it works."
He explains, "We help the wealthiest families in the US get their kids into school."
"So I've done 761 what I would call, 'side doors.' The, 'front door,' means getting in on your own."
"I've created this kind of side door in because my families want a guarantee."
A man is heard saying, "It truly is amazing what people will say on the phone when they don't know the feds are listening."
A client is heard asking, "If somebody were to catch this, what would happen?"
Singer responds, "The only way someone could catch it is if you guys tell someone."
An interviewee appears on screen and admits, "It seems like it would be hard to miss."
He recalls, "There was a 5'5 men's basketball player, a high school cheerleader who was made to look like a Lacrosse player..."
A voice is heard saying, "They had every advantage and yet they still cheated."
Another says, "In America, we love the wealthy, and we hate the wealthy."
She continues, "They disgust us, and the fascinate us."
Modine is heard in character saying, "I'm gonna do over 730 of these side doors this year. It's the home run of home runs."
"And it works?" He's asked. "Every time," he responds.
