Plot

Boyd Holbrook, best known for his role as Agent Murphy in the first seasons of Netflix's "Narcos", this time he stars in a thriller produced by the same streaming platform in 2019.

'In the Shadow of the Moon' delves into the story of Locke, a Philadelphia police investigator who wants to become a detective and decides to join the team investigating a serial killer who began committing crimes in 1988.

Finally, the investigation does not carry any port until nine years later, when corpses appear with the same signs as in 1988 and it does not take long to determine what is the same person but, why nine years after?

When the murderer's crimes defy any scientific challenge, the obsession to discover the truth threatens to destroy his career and personal life.

Time travel and the mystery of who is the guilty one means an important place in the main theme of the film, which will be diffuse until the end and show us appearances always deceive.

Through the script of Gregory Weidman and Geoffrey Tock, Jim Mickle takes and directs his fifth film that mixes suspense with science fiction and in the artistic team, in addition, he has faces such as Michael C. Hall as a policeman or Cleopatra Coleman as the main suspicious person in the mystery.
