David Keith stars as Will McClean, a fine, disciplined cadet whose uncompromising integrity leads him to defy and reject the rules of conduct that have shaped him.

The year is 1964. Carolina Military Institute has admitted, for the first time, a young black man into its freshman class. Will is asked to protect him from The Ten - a secret society of cadets dedicated to eliminating from the school those it deems "unfit." Steeped in myth and legend, The Ten's power extends to every corner of Will's life, and he is ultimately forced to risk his career, the love of his closest friends... and his own life.
