Johnny Knoxville is starring in the psychological thriller Night Sessions.

Knoxville will play a charismatic psychiatrist from the U.S. living in exile in Berlin, where he hosts a late-night radio show.

Here’s the synopsis:

A rock-star therapist haunted by his past, Dr. Rick Brennan helps lonely and broken callers with their problems on his daily radio show — until his life is upended by a mysterious caller who accuses him of a horrendous crime, leading to a deadly cat and mouse game between the two.

Vienna-based Pont Pictures will produce, with Gregor Schmidinger (Nevrland) set to direct from a script by Christopher Beachum.

Variety first reported on Knoxville’s role.
