Singapore, February 1942. Charlie Torrance is trapped as Japanese forces cross the straits and the British defence contracts around the city. Capture appears increasingly likely, but Torrance is assigned to extract an intelligence operative carrying classified information before the surrender closes every route of escape.

Accompanied by Rossi, Australian soldiers and a Glaswegian fighter known as Smiler, Torrance moves through bombardment, military confusion and a civilian population seeking evacuation. The mission becomes a race to leave the island before the fall of Singapore turns surviving Allied troops into prisoners of war.
