In a world consumed by war, courage defies the odds to shield those dear.
Lieutenant Commander Todd Ingram, seasoned by the perils of war, faces an unexpected challenge when reassigned to the grounded destroyer USS Dunagan. Encountering a crew plagued by insubordination and turmoil, Ingram must restore order and lift spirits amidst an imminent threat from formidable adversaries.
Simultaneously, in the fraught landscapes of 1943 Paris, Coco Chanel, afraid of plummeting sales under Nazi occupation, sets up a new outpost in the Pacific. Entrusting the operation to the expert parfumiers of the Lapresse family - Andre, Charlotte, and their daughter Lolli - the fragrant venture takes an unexpected turn in the distant New Caledonia.
Meanwhile, soaring through the hostile skies, U.S. Marine Corps flying sergeant Gilroy Hitchcock, an intrinsic support in Ingram’s wardroom, encounters the enchanting Lolli, sparking a love that dares to defy the violent throes of war. But destiny thrusts Hitchcock into the abyss as his airplane mysteriously disappears.
The delicate threads binding these disparate lives are stretched taut, navigating through a historical mosaic where bravery, sacrifice, and love become immortalized within the war’s relentless tide.
Danger's Ebb weaves an epic tale of love, loyalty, and sacrifice, where decisive actions possess the power to alter the course of history.
