"Fearing he will follow in his father's footsteps, Nathan is closely monitored throughout his childhood", the synopsis reads.
"As the boundaries between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ fray, Nathan - along with mischievous Annalise and charismatic Gabriel - will soon discover who he truly is."

After Netflix released the show on October 28, it has quickly become a cult classic and viewers can't get their head round why it was cancelled.
"The B*stard Son and The Devil Himself is one of THE BEST shows I’ve seen come out of Netflix in a LONG time. Even outside of Netflix easily Top 3 it’s incredible," one person said.
Another said: "The B*stard Son and The Devil Himself is the best show Netflix has ever put out! I honestly could not stop watching, binged the whole thing barely stopping for bathroom breaks lol."
While someone else wrote: "They canceled half bad: the b*stard son and the devil himself after 1 season. I’m sick to the stomach rn.
"I want Netflix gone. Too many shows have been getting axed way too soon."
"Cuz why in God's name is Netflix canceling The B*stard Son and the Devil Himself??? They took away Sabrina and I let it slide but this?!" another added.
The show was also hugely popular amongst critics and scored a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score of 93 percent at the time of writing.
Production company The Imaginarium tweeted: "Half Bad is a show we are incredibly proud of, which gained stellar reviews, along with a fiercely loyal global fanbase.
"While we are disappointed not to continue the story, we have loved working with such a talented cast and crew on bringing our beloved show to life."
Writer Barton also added: "Sadly, yes, Netflix have cancelled this. Very proud of it and really liked the people I got to make it with. Sorry not to be able to finish the story…"
