## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Mid-town news desk, dawn. A camcorder’s red light winks on.

Oleg tucks a Brooklyn rooftop into the tiny screen while Emil torches a corpse in the alley below. One murder means nothing to the tabloid camera but everything to Flemming’s badge.

Herzfeld’s New York turns every crime scene into a set for the nightly freakshow.

**Mood tags**: paranoid, raw
