Shooting is expected to begin shortly (October), with the first synopsis for the project below.

The synopsis for "Aim High:"

"'Aim High is the story of a young man leading a double life - juggling his studies by day and serving as a government agent by night. This series chronicles the life of Nick Green, a sophomore who's just starting a new school year as one of the country's 64 highly trained teenage operatives.

When he's not handling international spies, Nick is dreaming of Amanda Meyers, the most popular girl in school who's cool, intelligent and very alluring. Amanda mercilessly flirts with Nick, but before he can enjoy her advances he has to avoid Derek - her overly protective boyfriend who threatens him for even looking at her.

To make things more complicated, Nick just blew a hit on a Russian mercenary and now he's out to take revenge on Nick. On top of that Nick also discovers he has an 'in' with Amanda but his best friend is planning to post a salacious rumor about her on his blog. All in all, it's going to be a rough semester" (Warner"
