## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

You’re the disgraced ex-captain in a city drowning in debt and gunfire when the city’s new mayor starts calling in favors from every yakuza clan. A cell door creaks open and the paperwork feels like a death sentence.

The camera pushes through steam and neon, catching the mayor’s lawyer lighting a cigarette in a backroom.

The rain never stops here except once—just long enough for a knife to sink in.

**Mood tags**: neon-soaked, paranoid, raw
