In the Shadows

When a young wise guy who moonlights as a stuntman is killed, hit man Eric O`Byrne (Matthew Modine) is called in to kill Lance Cooper (James Caan), the film director blamed for the young man`s death. While infiltrating Cooper`s world, Eric becomes enamored of both the stuntman`s lifestyle and Cooper`s doctor daughter (Joey Lauren Adams). Before long, Eric discovers that the man he was supposed to kill has become his friend, forcing him to make a possibly deadly choice between the Coopers and the mafia.
