Plot: Jake Huard, from a shipbuilders family, promised his dying mother he'd make it to Annapolis Naval Academy. Thanks to tenaciously bugging a Congressman he's selected, despite dubious grades. Once inside Jake soon proves sub-standard academically. Constantly challenged to his limits, repeatedly made the 'over-cocky' reason for the entire class to suffer, Jake nearly quits, but after facing his utterly unsupportive father's gloating returns just in time. Stubborn Jake finds support with mates as well as Ali, his lover-to-be, and a discipline he may excel in: the 'brigade' boxing tournament, open to all ranks.Dreaming of attending the U.S. Naval Academy in Maryland, a young man finally narrowly makes the cut and becomes one of the 1,200 applicants selected for the freshman class. However, once there, he begins to suffer from self-doubt and wonders if he can truly measure up to the standards held by the revered institution.
