In Hysteria, we meet a young woman an hour into yet another alcohol-fueled, masochistic, sexual bender at her local bar. There is a new bartender working this time, one she hasn't seen before, but who can properly make a drink. He looks familiar, and as she is consumed by shame from her behavior the previous week - hooking up with her parents' colleague and her roommate's brother - she also becomes convinced that her Brooklyn bartender is actually Sigmund Freud. They embark on a relationship, and she is forced to confront her past.

In der Hoffnung auf ein ruhigeres Leben ziehen die Blums vom pulsierenden Brooklyn ins beschauliche Riverburg, wo Vater Gus nach herausfordernden Jahren endlich eine Professur ergattert hat. Gleich an ihrem ersten Schultag wird die achtzehnjährige Hazel ins Büro des Direktors zitiert.
