Sixteen year old Everest Finch was once a runaway foster kid on the streets of Washington DC, trying to make do and stay alive. A chance encounter and a series of mishaps led him to be an unlikely hero, and to be recruited by the CIA to be part of their new, completely confidential division: GAIA: or the General Adolescent (division) Intelligence Agency.
His next mission seems simple enough- protect, or rather, babysit Logan McCoy, the charismatic son of United States president James McCoy, by going undercover as Elliot Grant, your typically rich kid, at Georgetown, one of America's most prestigious high schools- filled with people who smell like old money and whose names mean something. It turns out to be a lot harder than it sounds: firstly, Logan turns out to be a complete douchebag.... and, oh yeah, somebody's trying to kill the president too. As the stakes are raised, and lines are blurred, Everest must learn who he can trust, in a world in which he can trust no one.
