Synopsis
Seventeen students arrive at school in the morning and go through their day from opening their lockers, to passing in the hallways between classes, to lunchroom encounters, to their exit at the end of the day. Each character is a number representation from a deck of cards, and that number is their character name and value in the hierarchy of the student body. With ace being the lowest and king being the highest, we see, through intermingled scenes and monologues, the characters expressing their individual positions and feelings as to what it is like to be the value of the card that they represent. The entire action of the play is controlled by a joker who serves as the narrator.
