In the midst of World War II, a group of Nazi submariners finds themselves stranded in the cold waters of Canada after their submarine is sunk. Desperate to escape the enemy and return to Hitler's Germany, the men venture into an unknown and hostile landscape. Their mission is simple: cross the border into the United States, where they believe they will find help and refuge.
As they delve deeper into the Canadian wilderness, the Nazis are pursued by a group of Canadians who, with ingenuity and courage, attempt to halt their advance. During their journey, the submariners encounter a series of characters that represent the diversity of Canadian society: a kind farmer, an Indigenous person with a deep sense of justice, a factory worker, and a young woman who begins to question the actions of her captors. Each encounter tests their convictions and reveals the profound humanity behind cultural differences.
With tension escalating and ideals at stake, the film addresses themes of patriotism, resistance, and the struggle between good and evil. The characters—some with a dark side, others with a spark of hope—face difficult decisions that will change their lives forever. As this cat-and-mouse game unfolds, the notion of what it truly means to be a hero in times of war is called into question.
