The film co-stars Jefro, Jeff Moise and Danya Wilson.

For his leading role in the actioner, Jackson was awarded “Breakout Action Star” at the 2006 Action on Film Festival. He also wrote and directed the film, as well as two previously self-produced indie actioners, THAT BRUTHA’ FROM SHAOLIN (2004) and TWO (2002).

According to the official site for Workhorse Pictures, D.A. Jackson is currently adapting his faith-based action novel, “Triduanus,” into a screenplay that is self-described as LORD OF THE RINGS meets 300.

PRODIGAL arrives to DVD on September 8. It’s now available for pre-order at Amazon.
