In August 2000, the Russian Navy's Northern Fleet begins an exercise in the Barents Sea.

The captain however ignores Pavel's concerns and moments later the torpedo prematurely explodes, killing the weapons room crew.

The surviving crew members rally at the aft-most compartment, now rapidly taking on water.
