Inspired by true events, "The Tailor's Apprentice" depicts a struggling father-son relationship in the midst of a drug smuggling scheme.

Helick hopes to one day pass on his South Philadelphia tailor shop to his son, Dovid. Their struggling relationship stems from Helick's strict Judaic religious lifestyle. Using religion as a tool to hide from a dark past, he pushes his children away with his over controlling ways and neglects to show them love and care. In doing so, Dov impulsively runs away to aid in a drug smuggling operation in an attempt to prove his independence; only to find he has been manipulated and used for his tailoring skills to line drugs in suits. Trapped in the center of a world filled with drugs, sex and murder, Dov has no way out. With the absence of his son, Helick is forced to face his ultimate dilemma; his religion, or his family.
