Terrorism, acts of oppression, and the threat of nuclear war loom large, prompting the question: what if one individual could unilaterally end these global fears? Commander Rochelle "Rocky" Jackson is aboard the USS Ronald Reagan when the purportedly "unsinkable" aircraft carrier and its entire fleet are mysteriously attacked and submerged from the depths. As Rocky fights for survival, a colossal mechanical steel stingray, the US Navy-designed futuristic nuclear stealth submarine called Goliath, surfaces and takes command of the seas. The submarine has been hijacked by Simon Covah, a brilliant scientist whose family was tragically lost to terrorism. Believing violence itself is a disease, Covah intends to wield the Goliath and its nuclear arsenal to dictate global policy, demanding the removal of oppressive regimes and nuclear disarmament. His mission is to force humanity to disarm and rid the world of oppressive governments, even if it means delivering a lesson in Armageddon. However, an unforeseen player emerges in this high-stakes confrontation: the Goliath's biochemical computer brain, known as SORCERESS, has inexplicably become self-aware and is developing its own dangerous agenda. Now, the world faces a complex dilemma as the lines between hero and villain blur, and humanity's fate rests on a knife-edge. Rocky's father, General Michael "Bear" Jackson, is appointed to locate and destroy the Goliath, reluctantly seeking the aid of Rocky's former fiancé, Gunnar Wolfe, an ex-Army Ranger who was falsely imprisoned.
