Synopsis:

Get ready for one of the most gripping and nerve-fraying movies of recent years. The inspiration behind both the long-running drama series and the international blockbuster 'the fugitive', this highly charged and controversial real-life story will thrill and shock you to the very end. When brilliant surgeon Dr. Sam Sheppard is convicted of the brutal murder of his wife, their son Chip remains convinced of his fathers innocence, but he is still a child. Some years later his father is eventually released, leading Chip to take on a nightmare confrontation with his past. Peter Strauss, Bradley Reid and Janet Laine-Green turn in the most powerful performances of their careers in a movie that will have you rooted to your seat until the very end.

The protagonist of Death in the Shadows is a young woman seeking to discover the motive behind her mother's murder after finding out that she was not the woman's natural daughter. In pursuit of that goal, she must avoid assassination herself. Death in the Shadows was filmed in Holland, its attractive backgrounds jarring dramatically with its bursts of violence.

Fact-based story about the controversial conviction of Dr. Sam Sheppard (Peter Strauss) for the murder of his wife in Cleveland. The story picks up with his conviction and concentrates on his son's (Henry Czerny) efforts 40 years later to find evidence that his father was innocent of the crime. The story was the basis for the film and TV series of "The Fugitive".
