When Jason Armstrong discovers that his loser uncle is spying on kids at Jason's high school for cash, he's shocked. And then he realizes that this could definitely be more profitable than his part-time job at the video store. Now Jason needs an ally - and failed cheerleader Betsy Cunningham could be just the girl. But what at first seems like a great way for Jason and Betsy to get their own back on the cliquey world of Madison High turns into a major nightmare. The whole school's asking: who's the snitch? And when they find out, things are going to get nasty.
