Premise
The show (which is set in
Washington, D.C.) centers on the misadventures of boy genius T.J. Henderson (
Tahj Mowry), who at the age of 10 moves from elementary school and gets transferred to Piedmont High School, where he ends up becoming a high school sophomore with 15-year-olds as his classmates. He must adjust to the life with older but not necessarily wiser high school teenagers — his brother Marcus (
Jason Weaver) and Marcus's best friend Mo (
Omar Gooding). He often deals with the usual missteps of trying to fit in as a kid genius, while being a small kid in high school.
