The unfortunate incident draws Shawn Spencer (James Roday) and Burton “Gus” Guster (Dulé Hill) back to Lassie’s side in Santa Barbara, where the pair is forced to navigate the personal, the professional, and possibly the supernatural consequences of the attack. The sequel is written, directed and executive produced by Psych creator Steve Franks.
