Set in 1974 San Francisco, Evil Genius is a bitingly clever comic noir following 19-year-old Celia Dent. When a coworker's murder shatters her complacent marriage and mundane phone company job, Celia begins dangerously romanticizing violence and passion. As her morbid musings bleed into reality—leading to gun range practice and dark fantasies about her domineering husband—she embarks on a surreal, obsessive path toward a deadly collision course.
