Prodigal Son is a passionate, explosive portrait of a young man on the verge of salvation or destruction, written and directed by John Patrick Shanley (of Tony, Academy Award, and Pulitzer Prize fame). A 17-year-old boy (Timothée Chalamet) from The Bronx finds himself suddenly in a private school in New Hampshire. He’s violent, gifted, alienated, on fire with a ferocious loneliness. Two faculty members (Tony Award winner Robert Sean Leonard and Chris McGarry) wrestle with the dilemma: Is the kid a star or a disaster?

Captain New Eyes travels back in time and feeds dinosaurs his Brain Grain cereal, which makes them intelligent and non-violent. They agree to go to the "Middle Future" in order to grant the wishes of children in New York City. They are to meet Dr. Bleeb of the Museum of Natural History, but get sidetracked with their new children friends and run into the Captain's evil brother, Professor Screweyes.

一九六四年，一所位于纽约市的天主教会学校，阿洛西斯修女是这所学校的校长，出于本能和职业敏感，她在没有任何证据的情况下，怀疑学校的弗林神父特别照顾班级里唯一的一个黑人男学生是因为他企图或者已经引诱了这个男孩做了不该做的事情。面对阿洛西斯修女的置疑，神父尽力辩解，可是这改变不了修女的怀疑。两人展开了一场意志和信仰的较量，是修女出于偏见和嫉妒刻意设计赶走神父？还是神父在开明平和的外表下隐藏着不可告人的私心？事情的真相到底如何？我们最终会选择怀疑还是相信呢？
