In America's high schools, students are playing a game whose only rule is to break the rules.

Here's a collection of stories about crib notes, secret codes, and elaborate heists, as told by the players and the referees: students and teachers from across the country.

There Was a Whole Lotta Hundreds... was commissioned for the 2005 ShortDocs: Stories About Games.
