Part joke, part warning, and part philosophy. Cathartics starts in the aftermath of a tragedy. A mysterious event that mirrors another from decades earlier. The locals call it the Dark Road Curse, and no one really understands what’s happening. But six friends find themselves tangled in the middle of it. At its heart, it is about what happens when people who’ve been hurt keep moving anyway. Still joking, still fighting and still believing they can make something right, even by accident.
