Kate, Steve, Mick, and Jenn Jones move into a high income suburb under the pretense of being a typical family relocating due to the changing nature of Kate and Steve's careers. In reality, Kate is the leader of a team of stealth marketers, professional salespeople who disguise product placement as a daily routine. Their clothing, accessories, furniture, and even food are carefully planned and stocked by various companies to create visibility in a desirable consumer market. While Kate's team is highly effective, Steve is new to the team, Jenn is a closet nymphomaniac with a penchant for hitting on her fake fathers, and a 30-day review is fast approaching.Actors

Alex meets Jack (Israel Broussard), his girlfriend, Carla (Sophie Curtis), Ricky (Chris Petrovski) and Cameron (Malcom Mays) at detention after they were caught cheating on a test. They team up to hack into the school and change their failing grades. Jack is hesitant at first but gives in. Thinking that they've succeeded they celebrate. But soon each one of then begin to be blackmailed by an unknown person who disguises themself as "Brittany Taman." Everyone is confused due to the fact that Brittany Taman was a student who committed suicide. Ricky reveals that Jack had something to do with her. The unknown person gives each of them different errands. They proceed to find out who their blackmailer is. Meanwhile, in present time Jack is seen at the hospital severely burned. He repeatedly says the name "Brittany" leaving his parents confused. Back into the story, they soon discover that the blackmailer is their own science teacher, Faustin. He had witnessed Cameron hacking into the school computer. He threatens them to get him a specific amount of money at any cost or else he would tell the police. The group is stressed, not knowing how to get the money. Ricky considers telling the authorities but his family is forced to move back to Russia. Feeling pressured, Carla considers overdosing on pills. Alex discovers a way on how to steal 5 million dollars. They all team up once again to steal money using fake ID's and add all the money to the school account online. Once they have all the money needed, they meet their teacher and give it to him in exchange for their freedom. Cameron still enraged by everything their teacher put them through confronts him and Faustin pulls out a gun and kills Carla and Cameron. Jack is also shot but is still alive. The attorney tells Alex to leave far away and threatens him never to speak of the incident ever again. Meanwhile, she and the principal go on the school account to discover that all the money the kids had stolen is gone. Just as Alex receives a message on his phone that all the money has been deposited into his own account. A video message sent to the principal reveals that Brittany faked her death and that Jack used and lied to her while he was still with Carla. Carla later got the whole school to turn against Brittany causing Brittany to want to commit suicide. Also, Cameron and Ricky wanted to take advantage of her. The video ends with her saying that these haters will pay for everything they did to her. It becomes clear that there is much more to this story than meets the eye. After putting pieces together from Alex's story the attorney learns that Alex is actually Brittany and that he stole the money and that he shot his classmates himself. Meanwhile, Jack dies from his severe wounds at the hospital. Brittany is seen leaving in a car taking out brown eye contacts revealing her natural blue eyes revealing that she is indeed Brittany and faked another identity to avenge herself. The movie ends with the attorney running and yells after.
