[edit] Plot

Wicked's main plot revoles around a highly dysfunctional family in American Suburbia. The mother is mysteriously murdered one morning, and there are a variety of suspects investigated by a detective played by Michael Parks. However, as the father's oldest daughter (Julia Stiles) begins to reveal the true depth of her obsession with her father by gradually seeking to replace her deceased mother, the murder becomes somewhat of a sideshow.
