The Road to Hell, and Back in Bloomington, MN

The gruesome murders of Alberto's uncle and his girlfriend's father horrify Alberto on the eve of his enlistment into the Italian navy. In a world tainted by sinister influences, Alberto's six-year journey takes him from Sicily, to the depths of Libya, and then into Egypt to spy on the British. Captured and interned in a prisoner-of-war camp in Kenya, East Africa, he's threatened by hostile guards, menaced by a fellow prisoner, while helping three men escape. Amidst the chaos, Alberto overcomes challenging obstacles to create a rare masterpiece: a model schooner that becomes his ticket to freedom.
