Spring 1941. Frustrated with military command’s handling of war, Stirling and Lewes formulate a plan to parachute men into the desert, attacking enemy forces from deep in the desert.
While recovering in hospital, Stirling ruminates on Lewes’s idea to attack the enemy from behind and hatches a plan to get approval for their unit from General Auchinleck at GHQ.
The newly recruited members of the SAS carry out a disastrous and devastating first mission. Determined to prove their strategy will work, they prepare to try again.
