At 18, a young man commits to 17 years in the military. Inside the system, he witnesses things he hadn’t thought possible. Many of his comrades consistently make mistakes or lack the physical and mental endurance. The military is well prepared and quietly removes the deviants from the countless formations they have to perform. The young man holds up well, but Frank, his roommate and friend, has a problem. His repeated failures have caught up with him.
