''In over his head'' is figurative speech. It means that he is involved in a situation that is too difficult for him to deal with.
For example:
Calculus is very hard for me. I'm in over my head.
Hope this helps!

You read the expression as "in (a situation... but the situation is) over your head." Think of diving into a swimming pool at the deep end, then you realise you can't swim! You are "in" the water, but the water is "over your head".
This idiom means that you don't have the capability to manage the situation. It overwhelms you.
