Marc finishes fifth grade convinced that he is bad at everything, from multiplication to swimming, and unable to stand up to the boy who bullies him. His visiting uncle Jake, a Navy SEAL, proposes a summer of disciplined practice rather than a quick solution. Training his body and changing his habits gives Marc a demanding way to prepare for the school year he dreads.

An injury brings Navy SEAL Jake home to spend the summer with his sister Sarah and her son Marc, who is struggling with bullies and school. Jake creates a training program to help his nephew face the things that frighten him. Teaching Marc requires more than military exercises, however, and the summer also forces Jake to confront difficulties of his own.
