Film superstar Nicolas_Cage's directing debut, Sonny follows a very unconventional family as they struggle to overcome personal and financial adversity. Young Sonny (James_Franco) returns home to New Orleans from Army service to find his mother Jewel (Brenda_Blethyn), a prostitute, in dire financial straits due to her marketability decreasing exponentially as her age increases. Jewel takes heart at her son's return, however, as she had raised him to be a male prostitute and his mid-'20s vitality should be able to provide a much-needed boost to her family's income -- which until now has primarily been based on Jewel's boyfriend Henry's (Harry_Dean_Stanton) small-time thievery, as well as the income generated by Jewel's new recruit, Carol (Mena_Suvari). Sonny initially scoffs at the thought, having been offered a chance for a legitimate job from his Army buddy (Scott_Caan), but when that possibility falls through, Sonny finds he has no choice but to work for his mother. Ryan Shriver, Rovi
