The show will focusing on the exploits of a disgraced former CIA Agent-turned-teacher at a Washington, D.C. prep school as he trains a few select pupils in the art of international espionage, which he hopes will help him back into the agency’s good books. The show has been described as “HEATHERS meets ALIAS.“
