Potato Salad

A film still from Potato Salad shows a Black man in a hallway looking forward. He is wearing a khaki trenchcoat, a white shirt, and a tie. From his mouth, hangs a sprig of pine. There are frames along the wall and a Christmas wreath hanging on the door behind him.

On Christmas Eve, a detective receives a call about a suicide that occurred during a dinner. When he arrives at the scene, he quickly realizes that something isn’t right and what appears to be a suicide may actually be something far more sinister.
