Thomas Jeffords, an American with a British mother, joins the British Royal Navy at the outbreak of World War II. He's assigned a secret mission to lead a flotilla of MTBs into Augusta, a former submarine base in Sicily, to destroy new weaponry housed in secured submarine pens. The mission is deemed a suicide mission, but Jeffords, driven by a desire to get the job done at any cost, accepts the challenge. During his time in Malta, Jeffords forms a connection with a mysterious blonde, Alison Ashurst, who is Commander Ashurst's wife and has come to the island to try to save their failing marriage.
