Plot

In the heart of the wealthy Ashby family, echoes a tragedy that has tainted their lives for over a decade. An airplane crash claimed the lives of the respected patriarch and matriarch Ashby, leaving a void that was further deepened by the suicide of their son, Tony. Driven to despair, Tony leapt from a cliff leaving behind only a suicide note, with his body swallowed by the abyss, never to be found. Now, the Ashby name is carried by three souls, each wrestling with their demons. Simon Ashby, an alcoholic and reckless organist, indulges in his vices as the inheritance looms, just weeks away. His sister, Eleanor, a delicate flower of fragility, teeters on the brink of sanity, continually haunted by their past. Their protective Aunt Harriet stands as their guardian, a bulwark against the harsh realities of the world. The Ashby finances are commandeered by the stoic accountant, John Kossett, who struggles to keep the unruly Simon in check. In the midst of this familial disarray, the past resurrects itself in the form of Tony Ashby, who appears as unexpectedly as a specter in the night. To Eleanor, his return is a joyous miracle, a balm to her fractured soul. However, Simon and Harriet eye him with suspicion, their disbelief fueled by his uncanny knowledge of family secrets. They brand him an impostor, setting the stage for a tumultuous struggle of identities and legacies. As the due date for Simon's inheritance draws near, the mystery of Tony's sudden arrival threatens to shatter the already fragile Ashby family. Can the truth be unearthed before it's too late? In the haunting tale of 'Paranoiac', every twist and turn will leave you questioning what it truly means to be an Ashby.
