A Long Way Off: The Modern Day Story of the Prodigal Son (DVD)

Young Jacob is tired of living on the family farm, submitting to the rules of his father. One day he demands an early inheritance, and is shocked when his father agrees - contingent on first sitting through an intensive session of life trainers in the area of Health, Wealth and Wisdom including real life like pollster Scott Rasmussen, Talk Show host Sean Hannity and Psychologist Dr. Bev Smallwood. Jacob heads to the city to prove that his modern ways are better than his dad's traditions. For a while he does surprisingly well taking huge business risks, and still making money even while living an extremely flamboyant lifestyle that attracts the wrong women including seductive Laura, whose rich boyfriend Frank is often dangerously nearby. Jacob's got the it all: money, ladies, prestige. But then-he loses it all and just when he thinks he's hit bottom the bottom drops some more. Coming to his senses he heads home, determined to work in an entry level position for his dad, who approaches him but with open arms or with anger?
