A heartbroken young man returns to his hometown seeking the comfort of old friends, only to find that familiar faces can mask evil intentions. His relationship with Alice (Beau Garrett) having recently ended, lovelorn college student Billy (Nick Stahl) travels back to Northern Virginia and starts hanging around with his childhood pal Stanley (Jonathan Jackson). It's been years since Billy and Stanley have seen each other, and now the more time they spend together, the more obvious it becomes that Stanley isn't the same guy he used to be. Concerned, Billy seeks the advice of Stanley's roommate, Christian (Christopher M. Clark), who has also noticed some disturbing patterns in Stanley's behavior. As their investigation gets under way, Billy and Christian uncover some bloody evidence that seems to link their troubled friend with a violent crime, and sets all three men on a tragic collision course with destiny. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Best described as Dallas with a Latino flavor, the CBS drama series Cane dealt with a wealthy and powerful Cuban-American family, the Duques, who ran a luctrative rum-and-sugar business in South Florida. Sensing that he wasn't long for this world, patriarch Pancho Duque (Hector Elizondo) began making arrangements to turn over his business to a younger member of the family--but which one? The two leading contenders were Pancho's oldest biological son Frank (Nestor Carbonell) and his adopted son Alex (Jimmy Smits), who in his own sly-and-cunning way was the series' "J.R." character. As Frank and Alex fought tooth and nail over control of the Duque empire, Frank indicated a willingness to sell out to the rival Samuels family, if for no other reason than he was having an affair with Ellis Samuels (Polly Walker). Alex resisted the notion of a sell-out, not only out of loyalty to his adoptive father, but also because he was married to Pancho's biological daughter Isabel (Paola Turbay), making him son and son-in-law all in one! Befitting his status as the series' "hero-villain", Alex handled his business and personal affairs with equal ruthlessness, especially when it came to his dealings with his own son Jaime (Michael Trevino), who in the earliest episodes was being pressured to stay in college, though he himself was torn between joining the Army and making a commitment to his girlfriend Rebecca (Alona Tal). Cane premiered on September 25, 2007. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
