In the seafaring tradition of Defoe and Sabatini, The Prodigal is a tale of the shipwreck and struggle for survival of a young American ship's carpenter who escapes one captivity only to fall into more dangerous circumstances.

At critical moments a mysterious stranger appears to lend a hand and guide him to his destiny.
