Axton Riley is the runt of his distinguished military family, considered to be the least gifted member. After graduating the officer academy, he's assigned to lead a small frontier battalion. However, after a civil war breaks out, this small battalion becomes an essential force and could be the difference between victory or defeat in the war.

Recently accepted into the Westwich Military Academy, Dorian Scott is placed in the special operations program and placed in a squad with seven others.
