When a pilot haunted by a crash from his past joins a dangerous assignment over war-torn China, he makes a choice that lands him in enemy hands—and reveals secrets about his true identity to both the Japanese and to Blackhawk himself.

The stage is set for a reckoning that will test whether a broken man can find redemption in the heat of battle.

Lieutenant Hugh "Robbie" Robinson commands a PT Squadron patrolling the waters between Guadalcanal and Savo Island in search of the Japanese fleet—a unit the sailors have nicknamed "the Tokyo Express." When enemy forces are spotted making a run for Cape Esperance, Robbie coordinates a two-pronged assault with Lieutenant Green to trap the hostile task force and prevent their escape.

When Japanese forces occupy Faruk Island and seize a local fisherman's turtles to prepare a feast for incoming troops, Kohi makes a desperate choice to seek revenge—leading him to the PT boats of MTB Squadron Six with critical knowledge of the island's waters. As Perry Tobias and Paul Harvey race to intercept the Japanese convoy before it can establish an advanced base in the South Pacific, Kohi guides them through dangerous waters while harboring secrets about what the occupiers have done to those he loves. The raid that follows will test whether a fisherman's local knowledge and desire for vengeance can turn the tide against a formidable enemy operation.
