When a young woman named Lily Mackenzie hires Magnum to investigate the sudden death of her brother, a Navy sailor, he uncovers a tangled web of lies, secrets, and corruption within the Navy.
As Magnum delves deeper into the case, he discovers that Lily's brother may have been involved in illegal activities on the ship, and that his death may have been a deliberate attempt to cover up those activities. With the help of his close friends and fellow veterans, TC and Rick, as well as his former commanding officer, Lt. Tanaka, Magnum navigates a minefield of threats, betrayals, and danger in order to get to the truth.
