Synopsis
Sick of fighting, a young mercenary soldier returns home to find those that love him in Steal Away Home.
Clement Scheutz, a recently discharged young soldier, finds himself entangled in Cuba's armed revolution. It triggers a revolution inside him and he sees that in order to survive he must renounce his own life of violence, find a peace for himself, and a home to go to. Led by the voice of a murdered Cuban woman, he sets out to pick up the traces of what had once passed for a home.
In the city of Cincinnati, he finds the scattered shards of that fragile haven, and many surprises that lead him, not only into his own psyche, but also on a path that could lead him to better future. From his younger brother whom he has not seen since he was 13, and from the beautiful woman whom he has loved since she was a gawky teenager, he learns to come to terms with himself as a person shaped by his environment, and still capable of rising above it.
