Rohit, a 19-year-old first-year international student from India, is studying Advertising at Conestoga College.

Tempted by the idea of contract cheating as a quick solution, Rohit makes a fateful decision that jeopardizes his academic journey when he is caught, highlighting the consequences of unethical behavior.
