## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

The Motor City’s back-alley sirens wail past Halloween decorations.

Alex Cross sketches crime scenes in a notebook while his niece’s laughter drifts upstairs. A childhood friend’s body, posed like chess pieces, drags him into a chess match he never wanted. Across the board, a smiling killer sacrifices pawns just to watch him sweat.

Cohen’s handheld panic keeps every move a heartbeat behind the music video pacing.

**Mood tags**: paranoid, raw
