With the crew doomed in 36 hours, Marine doctor and bio‑terror specialist Joe Rush leads a rescue team in a desperate bid to save the vessel before it falls into enemy hands. A fast‑approaching foreign submarine adds urgency to the mission. But the greatest danger lies beneath the wreckage—the Montana has unknowingly released an ancient, lethal plague that once devastated the world. Rush and his team must not only rescue the crew but also thwart a horrific, apocalyptic threat to humanity.
