MTV Films have bought the rights to Jake Coburn's
Prep, according to the Variety.
Prep, Coburn's first novel, focused on the subculture of urban prep school gangs and their attendant drug use, sex and violence. Coburn, who wrote the novel at the age of 24 as a part of a three-book deal with Dutton, grew up in Manhattan's Upper West Side and attended several prep schools.
Prep is aimed at providing a glimpse into the life of a prep schoolkid seduced by what is portrayed as Gotham's uninhibited party lifestyle. As he tries to leave that life behind, the protagonist finds himself thrust back into that world to save the brother of the woman he loves.
