SYNOPSIS
Psychopathia Paschalis is a dark comedy-of-manners that satirizes the hypocrisy and dysfunction beneath an upper-middle-class American family. When the Wallace family gathers for Easter, a shocking revelation—that Nick’s “friend” Justin is actually his lover—throws the household into chaos. As tensions erupt, an inept, self-styled detective only makes matters worse. Secrets unravel, bodies pile up, and the family’s fragile civility collapses into madness.
