Quick Synopsis
The story follows a young submariner who has an exceptional ability to hear and identify sounds with great precision. His skill is crucial for the safety of his crew and mission, but under intense stress, he makes a mistake that endangers everyone on board. Determined to regain his team's trust, he begins an unauthorized investigation into a suspicious situation that reveals a potential plot threatening to trigger a nuclear war. Working closely and urgently with the fleet admiral, they face immense pressure to take necessary and difficult actions to stop the escalation, especially since once a nuclear strike order is confirmed, it cannot be reversed.
Detailed Synopsis of The Wolf's Call
Shown from the perspective of a young submariner with unusually sensitive hearing and uncannily precise sound recognition. The fate of many often depends on his ability, and one time, whilst highly stressed, he makes a incorrect call which put his entire crew in mortal danger. Trying to regain the confidence of his comrades, he conducts an unauthorised investigation of an apparent plot which, it turns out, risks escalating into a nuclear apocalypse. Suddenly working under pressure with the fleet admiral, they must do whatever is necessary, even the unthinkable, to prevent a nuclear war, since a confirmed nuclear strike order cannot be countermanded.
