Described as "Election" meets "Heathers," the project is a comic satire about a high school girl (Wood) who turns her exclusive Beverly Hills private school upside down when she accuses her English teacher of sexual harassment. Executive producing the project are Joni Sighvatsson, Eric Kopeloff, Rob Ortiz and Prospect's Jason Barhydt.
