Synopsis
Looking for a crime drama about a teenager who outsmarts the elite? The Preppie Connection (2016) is ready to watch online on iFILM. Director Joseph Castello follows a scholarship kid who lands at an exclusive boarding school and never quite fits in among the children of millionaires.
Thomas Mann plays the outsider. The rich crowd mocks him and shuts him out, so he buys his way in: he sets up a cocaine pipeline straight from Colombia and turns the prep-school campus into a marketplace. The money, the status and the attention of a classmate (Lucy Fry) all follow. Then the operation grows past anything he can manage.
The story draws on a real drug-ring scandal at a New England prep school in the late 1980s. What gives the film its edge is how clearly it shows the price an outsider pays to finally belong. Stream The Preppie Connection (2016) online on iFILM.
