Cash Vereen has always had one dream; to enlist in the army and serve his country. Just like his father did. His mother made him promise to go to college first. And so he did. Now graduation is coming and he’s ready.

But his girlfriend, Johanna is not…

Jo hates that he’s leaving her behind. While she wants Cash to have everything he wants in life, she doesn’t want to lose him like his mother lost his father. But it’s not her choice to make.

Will Cash have to choose between the only dream he’s ever had and the woman he considers his future? Or can he convince Jo that some things are worth the risk?
