Four law school students find out, during their last semester, that the goal of their law school is not to produce students who can pass the Bar but are part of an organization chain which profits from the enormous student debt the students incur (for each of the students it amounts to nearly a quarter of a million dollars). With few available jobs and little hope of repaying the debt, the friends decide to forego the last semester and the Bar exam and start a bogus law firm, practicing law without a license. To compound the problem, one of the students, who is a U.S. Citizen, has family who illegally came to the U.S. from Senegal and were deported. What ensues is the cat and mouse game avoiding the authorities and coming up with a plan to produce fictitious plaintiffs in a multi-million dollar class action law suit.
