She's in over her head this time.... She wears a saber, a red sash and the infamous "crass mass of brass and glass", the United States Military Academy ring. The Army/Navy Game, the 100th Night celebrations, spring leave, and the highest of all cadet days, graduation, await Jan Wishart's final year at West Point. It should be the best one in her notable cadet experience. But graduation and commissioning as a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army may never happen for Jan. Instead, she might be sent to the Consolidated Brig, for female military convicts.

What doesn't kill you...can still cause a lot of damage. After a deadly accident in Airborne School, Jan Wishart returns to West Point under a cloud of suspicion. She is branded a "witch" by some at the military academy and creepy things keep happening in her room. She's losing the single most precious commodity available to cadets: sleep, which inflames her already heightened anxiety level. Then, a masked intruder begins visiting her room at night. Or is she imagining that? Events escalate to the point of no return for Jan and her two best friends.

They failed to drive her out of the military academy, but one in three women are still leaving West Point. Jan Wishart fights for survival in her second year at the formerly all male citadel, where the women cadets continue to endure body shaming, sexism, and contempt from the higher ups. When one of her friends shows signs of abuse and later commits suicide, Jan's coming of age year gets even more complicated. The culture of hazing and harassment must be addressed...sometimes the best way to call attention to an issue is to leak it the press.
