Whiskey on the Rocks is an alternative take on what happened during the dramatic days at the turn of the month between October and November 1981, when the Soviet submarine U-137 ran aground in the Karlskrona archipelago. When the Soviet lieutenant on board the Soviet submarine receives the news that he is the father of a newborn healthy daughter, there is no limit to the festivities that follow on board. Unfortunately, something else happens that must not occur – the submarine runs aground in neutral Sweden, only a stone's throw from the nation's top secret naval base. Never before has the world been closer to full-scale global conflict and all responsibility now rests on the shoulders of one man, Sweden's Prime Minister Thorbjörn Fälldin.
