When a crusading senator pressures the would-be Navy Secretary to begin full gender
integration of the service, he offers the opportunity for a female Navy officer to join
the elite Navy SEALS. Lt. Jordan O'Niel is given the assignment, but no one expects her to
succeed in the punishing regime that has a standard 60% dropout rate for men. However,
O'Niel is determined to prove everyone wrong.
