Set against the backdrop of World War II, the narrative follows the U-234 submarine's final mission to Japan, carrying crucial cargo including uranium, military supplies, and plans for jet aircraft. With the Allies blocking supply routes and Germany's invasion of Russia complicating matters, the submarine becomes a vital means of transport. Aboard are a mix of German and Japanese military personnel. Ultimately, the submarine surrenders to the Allies on May 8, 1945, marking a significant moment in the race for atomic power as part of the Manhattan Project.
