Backstreet Dreams starring Brooke Shields, Sherilyn Fenn, Jason O'Malley, Anthony Franciosa on DVD

He wouldn't give up on his son. She wouldn't give up on him.

Backstreet Dreams is the story of a man (Jason O'Malley), who has a disturbed child. He and his wife Lucy (Sherilyn Fenn) take their son to a clinic, where he is diagnosed by a talented psychologist Stevie (Brooke Shields), as being autistic. After catching his unfaithful wife with another man, Dean tells Lucy to leave, and is faced with the task of raising Shane on his own. Stevie believes that she can improve Shane's condition, going back to Dean's apartment and later convincing him that he can provide a better world for his son. Angelo (Tony Franciosa), who lives in the same apartment building and is like a father to Dean, urges on the relationship, sensing that Stevie is luring Dean away from backstreet dealings, and giving him courage to face life in a positive way. Together, they build a foundation for a better life outside of the violence and danger of the backstreets where they live.
