Buffaloed
Peg Dahl (Zoey Deutch) grew up in a poor blue collar family in Buffalo, NY. Since she was a little girl, she was determined to go to an Ivy League school, work on Wall Street, & get rich so she could finally get out of her town. She did get into her dream school but it was too expensive & she had to hustle her not-so-legal get-rich-quick scheme in hopes to afford it. Well, she got caught & had to serve jail time. Now, deep in debt for legal fees, she ends up working for a shady debt collection company while she hones her motivating skills. Unhappy with her shyster boss, she sets out on her own as competition in the debt collection racket. Cute & sweet-looking Peg is a crafty, tough gal who is obsessed with making money in this funny comedy.
