When he's unexpectedly recruited to a secretive Espionage Academy disguised as a science school, his life takes a thrilling turn.

As he navigates this new world of espionage, Ben must prove he has what it takes to survive in a school where danger lurks around every corner. Will he rise to the challenge, or will his dream job remain just that—a dream?
