Spoilers ahead
In August 1943, the U.S. Navy submarine USS Tiger Shark roams the Atlantic during World War II, executing a cautious patrol that could tilt the balance of small, high-stakes encounters at sea. When a British PBY Catalina spots survivors adrift, Tiger Shark is ordered to rescue them from the recently sunk hospital ship Fort James. Among the rescued is Claire Paige, a British nurse, and two men, one of whom is wounded. One survivor insists he saw a German U-boat on the surface just before Fort James took a torpedo hit, raising the tension aboard as the crew processes the fragile line between luck and peril.
