After he warns his family and government officials, they accuse him of having PTSD, and the suspended SEAL learns that to win back his family, save innocent lives and prevent an economic death sentence to the U.S., he must sacrifice his Navy career and disobey orders again by engaging the enemy in a tactical fight to the death on Alaska’s frigid waters.
