Blank check

When 11-year-old Preston Waters' rusty old 3-speed bicycle is accidentally run over by a shiny new Jaguar driven by a crook named Quigley, his prized possession is instantly reduced to a useless heap of twisted metal. However, the settlement for damages is about to take Preston on the most fun-filled ride of his life as Quigley, a criminal involved in a money laundering scheme, quickly dashes off a check to pay for the bike, but in his haste neglects to fill in the amount. This fool and his money are soon parted when Preston sees the oversight and boldly fills in the amount: $1 million. Now, Preston embarks on the wildest spending spree ever, buying everything he ever dreamed of owning and living the high life that most people only imagine. With a sack full of cash, he hires a personal chauffeur, buys a great house and throws himself an enormous 12th birthday bash. But the party's over when the FBI, Quigley and his thugs descend as uninvited guests, and Preston discovers the the hardest thing about having a million dollars, is trying to hold on to it.

"12-year-old Preston Waters is tired of his pain-in-the-butt brothers and stingy parents. One day, a rich but convicted money launderer by the name of Quigley nearly kills him in a parking lot and gives him (by mistake) a blank check. So Preston boots up his computer, makes out the check for one million dollars cash money, comes up with the pseudonym of "Macintosh" and starts to spendin'. But Quigley wants his money back -- it was supposed to be cashed by another man with a blank check and handed back to Quigley. Can Preston keep up the facade? Will Quigley and his goons get their money back? And will Preston learn how valuable money really is?"@en
