SYNOPSIS: Featuring Alia Shawkat ("Arrested Development") and Raviv Ullman ("Phil of the Future"), Prom Wars is a hilarious teen comedy that tells the story of a fierce competition between two warring boys schools pitted against each other in a battle for the most elusive high school prize of all: a prom date with the girls from ACS – the hottest, most brilliant and sought-after senior class of private schoolgirls in the Easthill vicinity.
   
When sharp-witted high school knockout Diana Riggs (Shawkat) comes to the realization that she is either being taken for granted, objectified or disrespected by the boys in her life – notably Percy Collins (Ullman), her soon-to-be ex-boyfriend, as well as his personal nemesis, the über-rich Geoffrey Atridge – she decides to turn things around: in the name of all high school girls who've had to suffer the unacceptable injustices instigated by teenage boys, she calls upon her team of gorgeous ACS prefects and provokes a war between the Selby private school for boys and their Lancaster rivals. The winner in a series of designated competitions will be awarded exclusive rights to the girls as prom dates.
