Description: A routine Coast Guard inspection escalates into a nuclear crisis when North Korea is discovered smuggling missiles and warheads into Cuba, placing much of the eastern U.S. within striking range. In response, the president deploys the Atlantic Fleet to blockade the island, but a mysterious North Korean weapon devastates the naval perimeter. With diplomacy off the table, a small group of U.S. Marines and an untested destroyer must confront an unprecedented threat in a battle no one anticipated.
