When Japanese forces attack Pearl Harbor, Private Fred Larkin springs into action as Lightning to defend the Hawaiian base—but discovers the assault may be just the opening move in a larger scheme. Infiltrating a suspicious operation in town, he uncovers a network of underground tunnels and a cache of weapons hidden beneath the hills, all pointing toward a coordinated strike against the American forces. With his electrical powers, Lightning races to stop the enemy before their plan can unfold.
