Next of Kin is a 1989 American action film directed by John Irvin and starring Patrick Swayze and Liam Neeson. The screenplay was based on a story of the same title, both written by Michael Jenning.
Truman Gates (Patrick Swayze), a Kentucky native raised in Appalachia, has migrated to Chicago to become a police officer. After his younger brother Gerald (Bill Paxton) becomes unemployed when the local coal mine closes, Truman persuades his brother to look for work in Chicago.
Soon after landing a job as a truck driver, Gerald's vehicle is hijacked by mobsters from the Chicago Outfit. When Gerald pulls a knife, he is immediately killed by Joey Rosellini (Adam Baldwin), the sadistic nephew of Outfit boss John Isabella (Andreas Katsulas). When the Don later confronts his nephew about this needless killing, Joey lies and says that it was in defense of his cousin's life.
When Gerald's body is discovered, Truman returns to Kentucky for the funeral. When his surviving brother, Briar Gates (Liam Neeson), insists on a traditional mountain blood feud, Truman urges his family to let the police deal with Gerald's murder. Briar is disgusted, as he considers Truman's reluctance to be disgraceful.

Horatio: That was the sound of your funeral song!
Forgive
Remember the things I promised you
Forgotten to love you, you know it's true
I tumble then fall for you
The truth now lies in angry eyes
This time I'll pay the price
Pay the price to rise
This feelings got to go
This pain just takes it's toll
If you need me, let me know
I'm here for you
This feelings got to go
This pain just takes it's toll
If you need me, let me know
I'm here for you
All my life I learned from you
The lessons I've learned are never through
I'm sorry my father
Your heart, my hand
Not breaking it again
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
This will be the end
Do you ever think of me? (You follow it underneath your skin)
Where do we go to find what's within?
Just let it go, always within
(What lies)
Always in you
It falls apart
In caves inward
I'm the only one who floats below the rest
Of the angels, of the angels, of the angels
This feelings got to go
This pain just takes it's toll
If you need me, let me know
I'm here for you
This feelings got to go
This pain just takes it's toll
If you need me, let me know
