A fresh out of high school, masculine 19-year-old woman Jovourney Elsher, (Jah-voor-knee Ell-sher) has always had a passion for being in the army since she was a little girl and serving her country, but there's one thing standing in the way of that: her homophobic, single mother. Next to wanting to spread her wings and finally and fully be herself, despite her mother's worries and disapproval, and the male role not being around in her life as much as he should've, that made her sought out her dream even more to escape her toxic environment, and make a life for herself. Upon Jovourney's arrival of getting settled in combat training, she meets her masculine, female 25-year-old sergeant named Briar Beaumont, (Bry-er Boh-mont). Due to Briar's strong teaching method and aggressive demeanor as far as with the other female soldiers, Jovourney is instantly not a fan of her, viewing her as a bad person. It doesn't make their soldier-sergeant relationship any better when Jovourney notices Briar is harder on her for whatever reason. This causes them to bump heads at first since they both have dominant personalities, a student in training that refuses to listen and follow the rules, and a hell-bent boss who refuses to change things no matter who likes it or not, but the dislike is one-sided, only on Jovourney's side. Jovourney thinks Briar is doing it out of malice, but could it simply be they wind up not being that different from each other after all? Will love bloom, or will they let their positions affect them from developing something special?
