Episode 01
An Ordinary Cargo Ship
Young Deck Officer Arthur Hawkins (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) leaves his pregnant wife Maud (Nathalie Emmanuel) to join the San Demetrio. Shipping Manager Robert Dodds (Brian Cox) promises to keep an eye on Maud. Loading a vital and highly volatile cargo of Texas aviation fuel for the Royal Air Force, they set off in a convoy of other ships for England. On board is an American, Oswald Preston (Blair Redford). In the High Court in London, a court case starts.
Episode 02
A Jervis Day
The convoy is attacked by a German Battleship. In a suicidal act of incredible courage, the outgunned HMS Jervis Bay engages her to give the convoy time to escape. But watched in horror by our crew, the battleship sinks the Jervis Bay and targets the convoy. Several cargo ships are sunk and then the San Demetrio herself comes under fire.

Goodbye Old Girl
With men killed, on fire, badly damaged, the captain orders the crew to abandon ship into the lifeboats.

Episode 04
Freeze or Burn
The ship is their own “San Demetrio”, horribly damaged, still on fire and liable to blow up at any time. As Chief Engineer Pollard (John Malkovich) puts it: their choice is stark. Stay on the lifeboat and freeze to death or climb back on board and get blown up. In London, Dodds breaks the news to Maud of the attack on the convoy. After another night in the lifeboat and close to death, Hawkins has no choice but to board the burning ship.
