Buffalo Heights by Adam Harrell

(Ensemble Comedy, 90 mins.) Upon being deported from France to start her new life as a French teacher in Buffalo, NY, expatriate Fran gets on the bad side of a student who is also a US Congresswoman's daughter, endangering the entire school. Scandal, intrigue, improper bodily searches, and damned lies -- just an average day at Buffalo Heights High.
