GUILTY ADMISSIONS weaves together the story of an unscrupulous college counselor named Rick Singer, and how he preyed on the desperation of some of the country's wealthiest families living in a world defined by fierce competition and a community of deeply insecure parents who will do anything to get their kids into name-brand colleges in order to maintain their own A-list status.
