As Michael Cerveris (“Mindhunter,” “Fringe”) is about to learn in Basic Psych, a psychiatrist is only as safe as his most dangerous patient.
Also starring David Conrad (“Ghost Whisperer”), the psychological thriller hits Digital on April 21 via Filmhub.
Cerveris stars as Dr. Stuart Prince, a psychiatrist who takes on a new patient, Dan Riviello (Conrad), an elementary school principal complaining of nightmares.
Knowing psychiatrists are forbidden from reporting patient’s past crimes, Dan reveals he is the killer in an unsolved double murder. Despite his misgivings, Stuart feels obligated to treat Dan.
As sessions darken, the doctor and his family are pulled into a chilling cat-and-mouse game that drags Dan into a shadow world of manipulation, obsession, and deadly uncertainty.
Cotter Smith (“Mindhunter”) and Siena Goines (“Criminal Minds”) round out the cast.
Melissa Martin directs from a script written by James Tucker. Janet D. Smith and Jeanne Baseman produce.
“What a journey Basic Psych has been,” said Martin and Tucker. “Michael Cerveris and David Conrad made perfect foes. We’re excited for fans of psychological thrillers to figure this one out.”
