**Premise:**
On the deep-sea stealth submarine USS Vengeance, by-the-book Executive Officer Penn Salinger is forced to assume command when the captain suddenly collapses after receiving a fragmented, alarming order. Penn’s cold, procedural response to the crisis clashes with the crew’s escalating fear, creating a power vacuum filled by the charismatic Chief of the Boat, Alistair Burke.
Burke stages a mutiny, convincing the crew he is saving them from a reckless officer hell-bent on starting a war. Imprisoned and stripped of his authority, Penn must escape into the bowels of the sub and launch a one-man insurgency. Aided by a few loyalists, he must uncover the truth behind the captain’s death and the corrupted order, racing against a countdown clock to stop Burke from igniting an international incident and retake command of his vessel before it’s lost forever.
