Confessions of a Prodigal Son is a 2015 dramatic feature film that tells a modern-day retelling of the well-known Biblical story of the prodigal son. It is directed by Allan Spiers and stars Kevin Sorbo, Michael Bolten, and Nathan Clarkson. The movie is set in the present-day United States and carries a message of redemption and forgiveness.

The movie follows the story of Sean (played by Nathan Clarkson), a young man who is troubled by a life that he feels is going nowhere. He is at odds with his strict and overbearing father, Jack (played by Kevin Sorbo), who runs a successful business and is a devout Christian. Jack expects Sean to follow in his footsteps and join him in the family business, but Sean is more interested in rebelling against his father and living life on his own terms.

One night, after a heated argument with his father, Sean decides to leave home and set out on his own. He moves to Los Angeles, where he meets a community of young people who are living a carefree, hedonistic lifestyle. He quickly falls in with them and begins to embrace the party lifestyle, indulging in drugs, alcohol, and casual sex.

However, Sean soon finds himself in over his head. He realizes that his new friends are not who they seem to be, and that their seemingly carefree lifestyle hides a dark underbelly of crime and danger. Sean becomes involved in their criminal activities, and eventually finds himself on the run from the law.

Meanwhile, back home, Jack is worried sick about his son. He does not know where Sean is or what he is doing, but he knows that he needs to find him and bring him back home. Jack enlists the help of a private investigator, Matt (played by Michael Bolten), to track down Sean and bring him back.

As the movie progresses, we see both Sean and Jack struggling with their own demons. Sean realizes that his party lifestyle has brought him nothing but pain and suffering, and he begins to long for the safety and security of his old life. Jack, on the other hand, grapples with his own failings as a father. He realizes that he has been too hard on Sean, and that his overbearing nature may have driven his son away.

The climax of the movie comes when Sean is finally caught by the police and brought back home. There, he must face the consequences of his actions and confront his own demons. Meanwhile, Jack must also come to terms with his own failings as a father, and find a way to reconcile with his son.

Overall, Confessions of a Prodigal Son is a moving and thought-provoking movie that deals with some difficult themes. It touches on the struggles of young people in today's world, the importance of family and forgiveness, and the need for redemption and second chances. The movie is well-acted and well-directed, and carries an important message that is relevant to people of all ages and backgrounds.
