In 1988, Philadelphia police officer Thomas Lockhart (Boyd Holbrook), who dreams of becoming a detective, begins tracking a serial killer who mysteriously reappears every nine years. But when the killer's crimes begin to defy all scientific explanation, Locke's obsession with the truth threatens to destroy his career, his family, and even his sanity. In the Shadow of the Moon is a genre-blending psychological thriller that examines the power of time, and how its passing can bring us together or apart. Directed by Jim Mickle, the film also stars Michael C. Hall and Cleopatra Coleman.
