In San Andreas, the story unfolds aboard a British hospital ship navigating the perilous waters of Norway during World War II. Just before dawn, chaos erupts when the lights go out, plunging the crew into a nightmare of violence and betrayal. An unknown saboteur lurks among them, orchestrating a terrifying game of treachery that threatens their very survival. The crew must grapple with the realization that one of their own is the enemy, complicating their fight for safety amidst the dangers of U-boat attacks.
As the situation escalates, the red crosses emblazoned on the ship's sides offer no comfort. Instead, they signify a dangerous secret that transforms the San Andreas into a coveted target for the enemy.

With their compass shattered and the ship's fate hanging in the balance, the crew must rally together to unmask the traitor before it's too late.

The tension builds as the crew confronts both external threats and internal strife, showcasing the resilience of the human spirit in the face of betrayal. It is a story that captures the essence of courage and camaraderie amid the horrors of war.
