Synopsis:

In a near-future world increasingly dominated by oceanic research, the legacy of Dr. Zorndyke takes a terrifying turn. His advanced biological engineering yields a new species perfectly adapted for aquatic warfare, posing an existential threat to humanity’s terrestrial dominance. The Blue Submarine No. 6, a veteran vessel of the Blue fleet, finds itself at the forefront of a desperate struggle. Faced with overwhelming odds and unconventional enemies, the crew must confront not only the physical dangers posed by Zorndyke's creations but also the ethical implications of scientific ambition and the fragile balance between humanity and the natural world. The series explores themes of environmental responsibility and the consequences of unchecked innovation within a tense, action-oriented setting.
