About this movie

Jacob is tired of living on the family farm and submitting to his father's rules. One day he demands an early inheritance from his father, who shockingly agrees to give it to him. So, he heads to the big city doing things his way without restraint. For a while, he does surprisingly well. He takes huge business risks and converts his small fortune into a big fortune, despite his extremely flamboyant lifestyle. Jake had it all: money, ladies, prestige. But he loses it all and finds himself eating out of dumpsters and living in a literal pig pen. He heads home, determined to work for his dad, who surprises him once again by running to him-but is it to kiss him or kill him?

More religious tripe to prop up its skewed view of what the world should be

Puts the Bible parable in a modern day twist that is soo deep. Loved it.
