Synopsis
In the dying embers of WW2, Winston Churchill orders Special Intelligence Service Commander Ian Fleming to mount a daring rescue mission. His orders: to bring home the brave women of the Special Operation Executive caught behind enemy lines in the clutches of the fleeing German army. But, the mission seems doomed to failure as it becomes threatened on all sides by the invading Russian army and by the dark machinations within the British secret service itself - not to mention the ever-present danger from the increasingly spooked Nazi captors. The women's only hope now lies in their own guile and determination, which may just keep them alive long enough for the men of 30th Commando, led by the battle-hardened Sergeant Slaughter, to reach them. With time running out and their options rapidly decreasing, the women and their rescuers make for Swinemunde on the shores of the Baltic in the hope of safe passage on one of few remaining seafaring transports. But, as a Russian sub enters the Baltic with orders to bring down the largest of these vessels, the situation looks decidedly grim...
