## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Golden dawn over a Seoul rooftop garden. One acacia stump oozes sap black as motor oil.

A six-year-old orphan’s new parents place a rusted acacia cutting on his windowsill. Nightly, roots lick his bedroom floorboards.

Park Ki-hyung’s tree horror nods to 1970s eco-grief; the roots smell like yesterday’s funerals.

**Mood tags**: dread, slow-burn
