In 1941 the Germans invaded Greece and two childhood friends, one a Greek naval officer and the other a German, are forced to fight each other, each one defending his homeland.

As the world plunges into the chaos of World War II, two former best friends find themselves on opposite sides. Greek officer Sub-Lieutenant Pavlos Dellis and German officer Sub-Lieutenant Erich von Auer, who once shared a bond of brotherhood, now stand face-to-face on the battlefield. But that's not all--things take an unexpected turn when Dellis' sister, Marina, becomes romantically involved with Erich. As if their divergent allegiances weren't enough, Marina hides a secret that could shake things up even more. Will her love for Erich survive the storm of war and bloodshed? Can patriotism and passion coexist when the Mediterranean is ablaze? A tale of love, loyalty, and sacrifice set against the backdrop of one of the most tumultuous periods in human history.—Nick Riganas
