Prince of Central Park -- A young boy sets out to find his real mother. After setting up camp in Central Park, he encounters a group of people even needier than himself.

When JJ (Frankie Nasso) chooses the streets of New York over his foster mother (Cathy Moriarty), he must live by a new set of rules - or risk becoming a statistic in the NYPD's open case files. Pursued by a street hustler, he seeks shelter in Central Park - only to discover a world ruled by a frightening eccentric (Harvey Keitel). Only one couple (Kathleen Turner and Danny Aiello) have a chance to save JJ - but a dark secret may stop them from fulfilling their vow before it is too late.

Tired of the abuse heaped on him by his foster mother (Cathy Moriarty), J.J. Somerled (Frank Nasso) flees to New York City's Central Park determined to make the metropolitan woodland his home. As J.J. continues to dream of reuniting with his birth mother, he finds himself amongst a world of bizarre characters led by an intimidating oddball dubbed the Guardian (Harvey Keitel). The strong supporting cast includes Kathleen Turner and Danny Aiello.
