The plot thrusts viewers into a futuristic crisis: Chinese naval intelligence intercepts a classified enemy plan to deploy a "super submarine" against southeastern coastal cities. To thwart this catastrophic scheme, the elite "Jiaolong Commando Unit" teams up with the cutting-edge strategic submarine "Longjing" (Dragon Whale) for a high-risk transoceanic pursuit. Beneath the waves, the battlefield teems with peril—the commandos are ensnared in enemy traps, the submarine evades multiple ambushes, and the crew ventures into volcanic abysses in the forbidden depths. Characters portrayed by Gao Ge, Sun Yi, and Yu Zhen join forces with Yuan Wenkang and Ye He in a heart-stopping underwater showdown, blending molten lava chaos with tactical warfare.
