Daniel Groff hasn't seen his abusive father in years. When he learns that the man has died and left him his ramshackle house, Daniel discovers that he was obsessively writing a bizarre detective story/new age manifesto. So Daniel does the only thing that feels right, he decides to finish it. This sets Daniel onto a surreal creative journey where he encounters a woman who might be his wife, a river in the basement of his new home, an addiction to psychedelic berries, a private eye who can't figure out what to investigate, and a series of violent short stories he wrote when he was a child. Part absurdist nightmare, part coming-of-age comedy, A Broken Everything by Eddie Wright is a multi-layered, fast-paced, and darkly funny exploration of the cycles of domestic violence told through the fractured perspective of a young man trying to complete the work of the father he does not understand.
