Omar Rising

Omar, the son of a servant, is thrilled when he gets a scholarship to an elite school. But he's not so thrilled when he finds out that the school weeds out kids like him by requiring them to get higher grades than fee-paying kids - so it's almost impossible for scholarship students to graduate. Kids like him are also held to a higher standard than the other kids and Omar soon finds himself the victim of a system stacked against him - one which threatens to expel him if he cannot overcome the odds. It is up to Omar to do the impossible and change a rigged system.
