The southwest coast of Africa is known to sailors as the ’Skeleton Coast’, on account of the number of wrecks it has claimed over the centuries. It is not only the most dangerous coast in the world, but the most desolate - and potentially the richest.During World War II, fate had given Lieutenant-Commander Geoffrey Peace, R.N. a charted sea map to this forbidden place. And as one of Briton’s best submarine captains he is tasked by the Admiralty to seek out, hunt down, and sink under conditions of absolute secrecy a new type of advanced German U-boat that could change the course of the war. Years afterward, still obsessed by his memories and the nightmares of what transpired during that mission, Peace finds himself being blackmailed and forced to go back to that hellish region by a German ex-pat to once again challenge the whirlwind sea and barren land which has kept the Skeleton Coast free from the intrusions of man.
