The Key

A group of brave British tugboat captains embark on perilous salvage missions during World War II, dropping subtle hints with each successful operation that ultimately converge at a mysterious apartment in their home port, where a crucial clue awaits in the hands of a Swiss-Italian widow.

In the midst of World War II, tugboats embark on perilous salvage missions, vulnerable to enemy fire due to their limited armament. The tugboat crews, including Captain David Ross, a former American military man, face a precarious existence, often struggling with deep-seated emotional issues. As David navigates his new role, he is mentored by Captain Chris Ford, who shares a flat with the reclusive and beautiful Stella, an Italian-Swiss woman who has been cared for by a long line of tugboat captains.
