Lt. Commander Mike Dahlgren skippers the S-33, a vintage U.S. WW1 submarine which is older than most of its crew of nine.
Even though the vessel is considered primitive and suffers numerous defects, it is a deadly tool in the right hands. Now it
is being given the chance to prove its worth yet again, as the Americans enter World War II. These sailors are about to embark
on a mission more dangerous and frightening than anything they could ever imagined. The destiny of these nine ordinary men,
as well as the fate of their mission, will ultimately depend on their camaraderie, their instinct, their battle against time
and a battle against their own fears.
