Synopsis/Details

ACT 1 - Trent, a lowly cook, joins the Navy and overcomes the odds to become an elite Frogman. He has a whirlwind romance with Margaret but when Margaret’s family blames Trent of rape he is forced to leave her behind and abandon Max—his unknown mixed race son—who grows up angry and obsessed with finding his father to exact revenge.

ACT 2 - His son joins the Navy, ultimately becoming a seal too, and getting assigned to his father’s team on a mission in Turkey. Max reveals his true identity, and tries unsuccessfully to kill Trent. Trent reveals the truth of Margaret’s lost love and the two men go on to carry out the mission but Trent gets injured while saving Max.

ACT 3- Trent’s injuries force him out of the teams. Max continues missions on the inside of the insular ecosystem with his unit, and Father and Son have switched places, bonded by their blood and the SEAL brotherhood, but estranged nonetheless.

EPILOG- A young woman seeks out Trent. She is looking for Max, she is pregnant and the cycle repeats but Trent is redeemed by this twist of fate and ultimately spends time with his grandson and long lost Margaret.
