A tense nautical adventure on the high seas, where duty, daring, and human moments collide aboard a Royal Navy brig.

In this gripping episode from a naval saga, a coastal storm drives a brave crew to danger and rescue. A weather-beaten brig fights to keep its course as the lookout spots a distressed yacht, its crew battered by wind and waves.
