"How do you recover your good name, regain your own absolute sense of bearing and re-establish a sense of deep pride in yourself after a terrible accident in which somebody loses a life?
Faced with having made unforgivable errors while commanding a ship in the Pacific just after the fall of the Soviet Union, Lt. Stephen Wheatley faces a punishing military court-martial during which the prosecutor taunts the young lieutenant with the question, "Why didn't you just pick up the phone and call the Captain? Simple as that!" Prosecutor so infuriates the defendant that Wheatley almost leaps at his throat.
Wheatley is found guilty of Dereliction of Duty and here begins his search for redemption, a process soothed by his meeting a new love interest who nurses him back to health and accompanies him on a daring return to the Pacific to save the life of his WWII veteran father."
