Shadow Play

Ellie, eine alte Freundin Christines, kommt nach San Francisco, um den Nachlass ihres Mannes zu regeln. Im St. Gregory lernt sie Carter kennen, der ihr Schicksal teilt. Auch er hat seine Frau bei dem Unglück verloren. Frank Stoner trauert ebenfalls um einen Verstorbenen.

After losing a crucial play-off game, Rick Stoner, a professional basketball star, becomes increasingly distraught when his perfectionist father Frank chides him. Because Rick's older brother was an all-American basketball player before being killed in Vietnam, Rick feels the pressure of constantly being compared to him. Tired of constantly being hounded by his father, Rick decides to end his life; he climbs over the balcony railing of his hotel room and prepares to jump. Fortunately, Peter talks him down and later helps Rick and Frank reconcile. A widow and widower, Ellie and Carter, come together as they reclaim the personal effects of their mates who died in a plane crash. Just as their relationship is deepening, they discover that Ellie's husband and Carter's wife had been secret lovers, but had agreed to end the affair out of love for their spouses.
