When he won a coveted admission spot to the Naval Academy at Annapolis, local kid Jake Huard thought all his dreams had come true--but his battle to become the man he wants to be is only just beginning. Now, uncertain if a regular kid from a poor blue collar family can fit into the Academy's pressure-cooker atmosphere, and barely making the grade as a Freshman "plebe," Jake has one last shot at proving he has what it takes to become an officer in an institution that boasts a venerable 137-year history of focused discipline and determined excellence.

With nothing left to lose, Jake decides to enter the notoriously fierce Navy boxing competition known as the Brigade Championships--and face off against his arch-nemesis, Midshipman Lt. Cole. Everything Jake has ever hoped for stands in the balance: the chance to make his father proud, to validate his Lieutenant?s faith in him, to stand up for his fellow plebes, and most of all, to forge a different future.
