As Marco battles for his family and sanity, the story escalates from slow-burn mystery to full-blown terror.
Based on a #1 bestselling trilogy—already optioned for three seasons—Psychosis is IP-ready, critically acclaimed, and primed as a global franchise in the tradition of Shutter Island and The Haunting of Hill House.

Logline
A disgraced therapist retreats to a coastal village to rebuild his life, only to find his sanity and safety unravel as his new home becomes the stage for a terrifying blur between psychological breakdown and supernatural evil.
One-Page Pitch
Psychosis follows Marco Battista, a once-respected therapist whose life collapses after scandal and betrayal. Hoping to recover, he retreats to the remote coastal village of Porthcove, where he inherits an old house and plans to rebuild his career and family. But Marco quickly discovers that the idyllic setting hides something darker.
The story traps us in Marco’s perspective — is he spiralling into madness, or is something malignant haunting him? Each eerie event could be the symptom of his fractured mind or the manifestation of something far more sinister. This central ambiguity drives the suspense, forcing the audience to question every creak, shadow, and silence alongside him.
Stylistically, Psychosis is prestige psychological horror in the tradition of Shutter Island and The Babadook: a slow-burn descent that builds atmosphere before exploding into moments of full terror. It delivers not only on scares, but also on character, grounding the horror in Marco’s desperate need to win back his wife and son and prove he’s not the broken man they believe him to be.
Psychosis is more than a standalone story — it is the first book of a best-selling trilogy already primed for adaptation into three seasons of television. Season One lays the groundwork with its blend of paranoia, supernatural dread, and emotional depth. The sequels expand the mythology and raise the stakes, offering executives a ready-made franchise with proven fanbase appeal, audio-first momentum, and the potential to capture audiences hungry for character-driven, binge-worthy horror.
