In March 1970, Odysseas Andronikos, a chief petty officer in the
Royal Hellenic Navy, is prepared to reap the benefits of his
intense studies. After learning English and details of the American
culture, he receives his orders to report to the Navy Seabee base
in Rhode Island. Odysseas is more than ready to escape the Greek
military dictatorship and begin a new adventure in America.
After Odysseas arrives in Rhode Island, he slowly adjusts to the
ways of American life. Soon he meets Melina Spencer-a beautiful
woman trapped in an abusive marriage to a United States naval
officer. Desperate to escape her situation and find a better life
for her children, Melina begins a torrid, forbidden affair with
Odysseas. Despite obvious political and immigration barriers,
Melina and Odysseas fall in love-but it is not long before Odysseas
is sent back to Greece. Desperate and alone in his country,
Odysseas is willing to risk everything to be with the only woman he
has ever loved.
Based on true events, "Steadfast" weaves suspense with
governmental power, corruption, torture, and even death-and proves
that love is the most powerful emotion of all.
