FILM SYNOPSIS: June 6th 1944: D-Day. Patrick Thomas, a telegraphist in the Royal Navy boards a landing craft in Portsmouth, as thousands of vessels and tens of thousands of servicemen prepare for the day that changed history.
On June 25th 1944. LCH 185 is struck by an acoustic mine. Patrick finds himself regaining consciousness in the water, bleeding from the head and covered in grey paint. He watched the ship turn and sink to the bottom of the England Channel, taking all but a handful of the crew with it. Patrick and the families of the crew have no place to honor the fallen who sacrificed so much for our freedom. No position in the sea to know where their friends and family rested. There is no memorial to lay a wreath.
73 years after Royal Navy veteran Patrick Thomas' ship vanishes, he is the last of the handful of survivors still living. Fate brings Patrick and completely stranger, archaeologist John Henry Phillips together. Fueled by their unexpected bond and the rapid passing of the Second World War generation, John makes a shocking promise to find the ship and build a memorial with Patrick by his side.
