Military drama which centres on the crew of a U.S. nuclear submarine who become fugitives from their own country after questioning a suspicious order to fire nuclear missiles.
They land on a remote island in the South Pacific, where they commandeer a NATO Listening Station and declare themselves the world's newest nuclear armed nation. Now it's a race against the clock to uncover the truth while dealing with global geopolitics and growing unrest amongst crew members and the island's local inhabitants.
500 feet beneath the ocean's surface, the U.S. ballistic missile submarine Colorado receives their orders. Over a radio channel, designed only to be used if their homeland has been wiped out, they're told to fire nuclear weapons at Pakistan.
Captain Marcus Chaplin (Andre Braugher) demands confirmation of the orders only to be unceremoniously relieved of duty by the White House.
XO Sam Kendal (Scott Speedman) finds himself suddenly in charge of the submarine and facing the same difficult decision. When he also refuses to fire without confirmation of the orders, the Colorado is targeted, fired upon, and hit.
The submarine and its crew find themselves crippled on the ocean floor, declared rogue enemies of their own country.
Now, with nowhere left to turn, Chaplin and Kendal take the sub on the run and bring the men and women of the Colorado to an exotic island. Here they will find refuge, romance and a chance at a new life, even as they try to clear their names and get home.
