A grieving oceanographer and his research partner discover a North Korean missile base beneath the Pacific garbage patch and must sabotage it before the missiles launch.

SYNOPSIS:

In the remote expanse of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, renowned oceanographer STEVE HAYES and brilliant young researcher SUSAN LANDRY make a discovery that could alter global security forever. Buried beneath the drifting waste, hidden from satellites and radar, lies a clandestine North Korean submarine base, commanded by the ruthless GENERAL YOON - a rogue mastermind who has turned his back on his own regime to execute a nuclear strike that will cripple the United States.

Using cutting-edge technology, Yoon’s fleet has been extracting uranium from seawater, transforming discarded plastic into a cover for the world’s most undetectable weapons facility. The final stages of his plan are in motion: multiple warheads are primed, and within days, he will launch a devastating first strike—unless someone stops him.

When Steve and Susan stumble upon the operation, they barely escape with their lives, evading capture aboard a rusting tanker that serves as the base’s surface link. Armed only with raw intelligence and sheer determination, they race to expose the plot, but the U.S. authorities dismiss Steve’s warnings as the delusions of a grieving widower. With no one coming to their aid and Yoon’s operatives in pursuit, their only option is unthinkable: sabotage the launch themselves.

What follows is a relentless, high stakes battle against time and the elements, as two civilian scientists are thrust into the centre of a global crisis. From the depths of the Pacific to the corridors of power, The Garbage Patch is a pulse-pounding action thriller that blends the real-world peril of environmental catastrophe with the white-knuckle tension of a nuclear countdown
