What is the Plot of the Bastard Son & the Devil Himself?
IMDb has this to say about The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself:
Nathan is 16 years old, and his mother is the most feared witch in the world. He has spent his whole life being watched for signs that he might do bad things like his father. But as things get worse, the old lines between “good” and “bad” start to blur, and Nathan will learn what kind of person he really is. This show for young adults is full of angst and ups and downs. It’s about a troubled kid with an unbreakable will to live and beat the odds.
