Shetlandsgjengen
Krigsheltene i Shetlandsgjengen får sin velfortjente historie. Våren 1940: Etter det norske nederlaget, trekker de siste britiske soldatene ut fra Åndalsnes. Britene er på desperat jakt etter en måte å infiltrere norskekysten. Løsningen blir å bruke norske fiskere til jobben - under navnet Norwegian Naval Independent Unit, bedre kjent som Shetlandsgjengen. Gjennom flere vintre reiste norske skøyter frem og tilbake over ugjestmilde Nordsjøen. Vi følger legendariske skippere som Leif Larsen og ukjente helter som Grotle- brødrene gjennom stormer, infiltrasjonsforsøk, forlis og død. Dette er første gang hele historien om Shetlandsgjengen fortelles - fra det politiske spillet til planlegging, orkaner i Nordsjøen, triumfer og tilbakeslag. Men aller mest er det en fortelling om hvordan vanlige nordmenn viste ekte heltemot da det gjaldt som mest.
