This is a story of redemption based on a famous parable found in Luke. A young man from a wealthy and comfortable background abandons his life of privilege determined to forge a new life on his own. Demanding an early inheritance from his father, he sets off on a journey to "a far land" where the grass is sure to be greener on the other side of the fence. His dreams and aspirations are not realized as hoped and he ultimately returns home a broken man. He is redeemed by his father's loving embrace.
