The Navy picks up sonar echoes as sound blasts from Oil & Gas seismic surveys bounce off a mysterious underwater object moving among drilling platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. They appear to be from some type of submerged vessel that has no other machinery or engine noise and seems to simply disappear after several hours. The Navy and CIA suspect some kind of submersible running on batteries……. but any diesel-electric submarine would have to eventually surface and charge its batteries by running their Diesel engine.

Both the Navy and CIA know that the massive undersea infrastructure of the oil & gas industry is an attractive target for any potential enemy of the U.S. But the Navy’s super-secret SOSUS acoustic arrays would pick up any submarine attempting to enter the Gulf, so it must be something else. Is Cuba behind it…. to maybe exact revenge for the failed Bay of Pigs invasion attempt? The CIA forms a special team led by Alex Beck to hunt for what they call the Phantom of the Gulf. Their mission is to hunt down the mysterious contact and neutralize any threat that they uncover.
