Set in the 1990s at the US Naval Academy, this coming-of-age story follows Donald Durago, the son of a Medal of Honor recipient who died in the Vietnam War. While his father's heroism grants him a prestigious appointment, it also imposes the heavy expectation for Donald to live up to his father's legacy of bravery and sacrifice. As he navigates the challenges of military life, he grapples with the duality of honor and pressure, exploring themes of identity, legacy, and personal growth.
