Ever since her grandmother Mimi’s death, Chinese-American tween Olive Cobin Zhang (Rosalie Chiang)—who “never fit in” at school and hardly sees her busy parents—has felt especially alone. Worse, her mother abruptly sends her to a former castle that had been turned into a prison before being converted into a “reforming arts school.” But the prestigious boarding school is a cover; soon, Olive is recruited for an experimental group of covert child operatives to serve as the eyes and ears of the pseudo-government crime-fighting organization No One Can Know, or NOCK. She quickly befriends fellow operative and computer genius Philomena (Avantika), as well as tough girl Iggy (Txunamy Ortiz), bookworm James (Micah Abbey), and laid-back Theo (Mason Thames); together, they deem themselves the Misfits.
