A Long Way Off

DVD

Description: 

Based on Jesus' parable of The Prodigal Son.

Jake is tired of living on the family farm, submitting to the rules of his Father. One day, Jake demands an early inheritance from his father. Much to the surprise of Jake - and Jake's older brother, Seth - his Father agrees to Jake's request and Jake is off to the big city.

Jake charges into the city, intent on proving that his modern ways are better than his dad's traditional ways. He arrives in the city and embarks on his new life. For a while, he does well-surprisingly well all while taking huge business risks. His fast lifestyle finds him making "easy" money - even winning a bet with an interested and attractive local coffee house barista named Summer.

Jake's flamboyance quickly attracts the wrong women including the seductive Laura, whose rich mobster boyfriend Frank is often dangerously nearby. Jake seemingly has got the it all: money, ladies, prestige - but then suddenly, he loses it all and finds himself on the wrong end of the deal he made with mobster Frank and running for his life. And then, it gets worse.

Just when Jake thinks he's hit bottom, the bottom really drops out - and he is now eating out of dumpsters and literally eventually ends up in the hog pen. He's burned all his bridge and now, out of options, Jake is forced to confront himself and, if he is to survive, he must discover who he really is. - Publisher.
