Synopsis

Joshua follows a New York family whose carefully maintained life begins to unravel after the birth of a second child, as their nine-year-old son — a gifted but deeply unsettling piano prodigy — grows increasingly manipulative. His father gradually suspects that Joshua is deliberately orchestrating the family’s collapse. A slow-burn psychological thriller that questions how well parents truly know their children.
