Christine

When a wealthy and evil Dallas patriarch dies of a suspicious fentanyl overdose, his glitzy, unhinged widow Christine and her emotionally volatile daughter Liv launch competing, chaotic cross-country quests, unwittingly driving the family towards an explosive unraveling in Las Vegas.

Christine is a dark, satirical comic thriller blending the sharp family dysfunction and high-society absurdity of Knives Out and Succession with the reckless road-trip momentum of Thelma & Louise. With direct nods to playwright Eugene O’Neill’s 9-hour masterpiece, Mourning Becomes Electra, the tone intentionally edges on melodrama and camp, channeling the styles of John Waters and Douglas Sirk. The narrative explores generational narcissism, maternal sacrifice, class toxicity, and the lengths to which a deeply dysfunctional family will go to protect their illusions—and each other.
