Set against the backdrop of a fierce blizzard off Cape Cod in 1952, the narrative follows Bernie Webber, an unlikely hero who transformed from a troubled youth to a courageous U.S. Coast Guard coxswain. Faced with the catastrophic sinking of two oil tankers, Webber and his three crew members embarked on a perilous mission in a small, unassuming lifeboat, risking their lives to save thirty stranded sailors. Their extraordinary bravery earned them the Coast Guard Gold Medal for Valor, cementing their legacy in maritime history.
