Josh McCall seems to have it all: a loving wife, Rachel, a young son, Max, and a dream house in the countryside. But their idyllic life is suddenly shattered when, on their very first night, a car crashes into their yard and the driver is killed. This event triggers an obsessive mission in Josh to prevent future accidents at the dangerous curve – a mission that leads him down a path of psychological deterioration. „Sharp Corner“ is a classic psychological thriller about a devoted family man whose life spirals into obsession after a tragic car accident at the sharp bend in front of his new home.
