Synopsis:

Quote

In Ryan Murphy’s 10-episode drama series Grotesquerie for FX, a series of heinous crimes have unsettled a small community. “Detective Lois Tryon” feels these crimes are eerily personal, as if someone—or something—is taunting her. 

At home, Lois grapples with a strained relationship with her daughter, a husband in long-term hospital care and her own inner demons. With no leads and unsure of where to turn, she accepts the help of “Sister Megan,” a nun and journalist with the Catholic Guardian. Sister Megan, with her own difficult past, has seen the worst of humanity, yet she still believes in its capacity for good. Lois, on the other hand, fears the world is succumbing to evil. As Lois and Sister Megan string together clues, they find themselves ensnared in a sinister web that only seems to raise more questions than answers.

Courtney B. Vance stars as “Marshall Tryon.” Professor and husband to Lois, Marshall is in long-term medical care. The absence of Marshall’s steadfast charm and wisdom takes a heavy toll on Lois during this trying time.

Niecy Nash-Betts stars as “Lois Tryon,” who is the lead detective on what is by far the most disturbing case of her career. Lois battles inner demons as she and her unlikely partner work to uncover the motives of a twisted killer on a gruesome murder spree.

Raven Goodwin portrays “Merritt Tryon.” Loving and clever, Merritt is the daughter of Lois and Marshall. She is Lois’ rock, although her struggles with an eating disorder reveal a double standard that forces Lois to grapple with her own flaws.

Nicholas Alexander Chavez portrays “Father Charlie Mayhew.” A young, forward-thinking priest, Father Charlie’s eyes are opened by Sister Megan’s journalism. He walks a thin line between traditional values, his progressive worldview and his desires as a passionate and virile young man.

Lesley Manville stars as “Nurse Redd.” A hard-nosed nurse assigned to Marshall’s care, Redd puts her patients’ wellbeing a little too far above the needs of their loved ones, blurring the boundaries between professional caregiver and protector.
