Aliens in America

Justin Tolchuk (Dan Byrd, 'The Hills Have Eyes') is a sensitive, lanky 16-year-old just trying to make it through the social nightmare of high school in Medora, Wisconsin, with the help of his well-meaning mom Franny (Amy Pietz, 'Caroline in the City'), aspiring-entrepreneur dad Gary (Patrick Breen, 'Kevin Hill'), and his popular sister Claire (Lindsey Shaw, 'Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide'), who is sweetly unaware of how good-looking she is. When Franny signs up for the school's international exchange student program, she pictures an athletic, brilliant Nordic teen who will bestow instant coolness on her outsider son. However, when the Tolchuk's exchange student arrives, he turns out to be Raja Musharaff (Adhir Kalyan, 'Fair City'), a 16-year-old Pakistani Muslim. Despite the cultural chasm between them, Justin and Raja quickly develop an unlikely friendship that just might allow them to navigate the minefield that is contemporary high school. It's going to be a very interesting year for Raja, Justin, his family and the entire population of Medora.
