Plot: What Lazarus is About
At its core, Lazarus blends psychological horror, mystery, and thriller elements. The story follows Joel Lazarus, a forensic psychologist who returns home after his father’s suspicious suicide.
Soon, Joel begins to experience disturbing visions—seeing people he knows to be dead—and becomes entangled in a chilling conspiracy that ties directly to his family’s past. As Joel investigates, he uncovers shocking connections between his father’s death, his sister’s unsolved murder from 25 years earlier, and a series of cold-case crimes.
The official synopsis reads:
“Forensic psychiatrist Dr Joel ‘Laz’ Lazarus is forced to confront long-buried demons after his father, Dr L, dies in suspicious circumstances. At first, assured his dad’s death is a suicide, Laz is soon sucked into a world of murderous conspiracy and a race to find the killer, by strange visions of people he knows to be dead.”
