Preston Thompson returns to the United States Air Force Academy after thirty years. Plagued by dreams of marching parades in his underwear and other lingering aftereffects, he stands on the Chapel wall in the early morning fog and watches a solitary detail of cadets raise the flag. The Academy, also called "The Blue Zoo," is a personal minefield for Thompson, who must face past mistakes and make peace with himself as he relives his cadet experiences.
