Aberdeen Proving Ground Maryland 1996: The U.S. Army's most extensively reported sexual abuse scandal on record is uncovered by Major General Robert Shadley.

Known as GAM or "Game ala Military " an entire network of senior male instructors is in competition to sexually assault and exploit the young female trainees in their charge. Immersed in a battle unlike anything he'd been trained to fight, Shadley must unravel the game, bring the players to justice and get help for a record number of victims.

 Now retired, Major General Shadley continues to advocate for the estimated 19,000 military service members who are sexually assaulted each year. In this gripping story he sheds light on a problem that's still sadly far from being solved and provides lessons in real leadership through crisis.
