The Mark

Three strangers enter the U.S. Naval Academy in the late 1990s with nothing in common except the room they've been assigned and the institution bearing down on all of them. Gary Hale has spent his whole life learning how to disappear inside a room full of people. He didn't plan on being found. What unfolds over three years at Annapolis is a story about friendship forged under pressure, identity hidden in plain sight, and the cost of finally being known. Some marks are made by the place. Some are made by the people who see you there.
