Standard Issue Synopsis:
Charles Vanderwall, an avid note-taker, finds himself unexpectedly enlisted in the Army to fulfill the conditions of his late father’s will. Boot camp introduces him to a cast of colorful characters, providing plenty of material for his writing, yet he remains convinced that he’s better off alone in the real world. As boot camp and deployment push him beyond his physical limits, Vanderwall faces an even greater challenge, choosing to risk heartbreak for the chance at true friendship and love.
