One man lives two very different lives in this suspense thriller. Lisa (Annabella Sciorra) is a computer science instructor who is happily married to James Stockton (Scott Bakula), a businessman who has enjoyed considerable success as a land developer. Lisa and James are the proud parents of a daughter, Stacy (Cait Gentile), and James would seem to be the ideal father, eagerly volunteering for community activities and coaching Stacy's Little League team. But James is not really the man he seems to be -- James Stockton is actually a new identity fabricated 14 years ago by Tony Mancini, a mobster on the run from the law after killing his girlfriend. Shortly before Mancini disappeared, he was given a set of books with enough information on the Mafia's financial dealings to bring down the organized crime syndicate once and for all. One detective has refused to give up on his search for Mancini, and as he begins to zero in on James Stockton, Lisa finds herself wondering what the truth is about the man she thought she knew. Above Suspicion also stars Edward Asner, George Dzundza, and Red West.
