Ben Ripley might just be in middle school, however he is already landed his dream job: C.I.A. or bust. Unfortunately for him, his personality does not quite scream “secret agent”. Ben is so awkward, he is barely able to get to school and back without any sort of mishap. Because of his innate math abilities, he is not that surprised when he gets recruited for a magnet school with a focus on science, however he is entirely stunned to learn that the school is really a front for a junior CIA academy. Would the CIA actually want him?

In truth, no. There has been a case of mistaken identity, however that does not keep Ben from trying to morph into a super cool undercover agent, the sort that always gets the girl. Through a series of hilarious misadventures, Ben realizes that he might actually be a halfway decent spy. That is if he can survive each of the attempts that are being made on his life!

However when the president’s son is just as a hamster, and one trained SPYDER agent would never seem to be up to something, as they are much too clever for that.
