These guns control the sea channels to the Aegean Sea, preventing the rescue of British troops stranded on nearby islands. The diverse group of experts must scale sheer cliffs, confront traitors within their ranks, and battle the elements to complete their mission and turn the tide of the war in the Allies' favor. Their journey is fraught with danger, action, and suspense, testing the limits of their skills and courage.
