A PHYSICS EXPERIMENT GONE WRONG LEAVES A DISTURBED SCIENTIST WITH A SHADOW THAT CAN
KILL.
A former student of Dana Scully's asks for her help in solving some puzzling
disappearances: people who have vanished, leaving only strange scorch marks behind. Mulder
and Scully pursue a scientist whose shadow has become a terrible weapon as a result of a
freak lab accident. But the X-Files team is not the only one chasing the scientist, and
Mulder goes up against his own ally in an attempt to keep the secret from falling into the
wrong hands.
Notes
The title refers to the fact that the sharper the lighting
is, the more dangerous Banton's shadow becomes - in other words, if people are to survive
then, as Mulder states, he needs soft light.
Morleys cigarettes are the brand of cigarettes Cancer Man smokes.
