## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A humid Adirondack September evening. Smoked trout and the last of the wine. A city filmmaker unpacks a leather portfolio at the lakeside table.

An actor, his partner, and the guest orbit one another—words sharper than the knives in the kitchen drawer.

Lawrence Michael Levine’s skeletal chamber piece auditions its own collapse.

**Mood tags**: paranoid, slow-burn, surreal
