Now in his 2nd year as Army Cadet, trouble-maker Graham Kirk is faced with the biggest crisis of his cadetship.
The annual field camp has begun and over nine gruelling days he will be forced to face challenges and temptations that test his integrity, courage and loyalty to the limit.
Top of the list are Pigsy and his gang, soured by jealousy and resentment. And of course the girls.
Will they stand in the way of his promotion to sergeant or will he rise to the challenge and become the leader nobody thinks he can be?
