Eric works his way into Lance's world by starting a relationship with Lance's daughter, Clarissa (Joey Lauren Adams), a sensitive pediatrician, and before long he becomes a stuntman working for Lance. But the godfather becomes anxious to have Lance killed, and Eric finds that when the time comes to pull the trigger, love and loyalty complicate the hit. ~ Buzz McClain, Rovi

Kevin N. Laforest, Apollo Guide
Interestingly blends the world of stunt people who create the illusion of danger and that of the Mob, where danger is a reality.
