The Peanut Butter Falcon

A modern Mark Twain style adventure story, The Peanut Butter Falcon tells the story of a young man with Down syndrome who runs away from a residential nursing home to follow his dream of attending the professional wrestling school of his idol, The Salt Water Redneck. A strange turn of events pairs him on the road with a small time outlaw on the run who becomes an unlikely coach and ally. Together they wind through deltas, elude capture, drink whisky, find God, catch fish, and convince a kind nursing home employee charged with his return to join them on their journey.
