Everyone on base calls him the Dishwasher — the family disgrace who sleeps through drills and has never won a single fight. But beneath that mask of worthlessness hides seven years of training in a forbidden program, and at a tournament offering millions, a captain's rank, and the hand of the woman he never forgot, the mask is about to burn away. The catch: what lies underneath is a brand that means a court-martial — ordered by the very man who put it there.
