## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

The desert dawn smells like burnt asphalt and motor oil. A suitcase clicks open in the trunk. The car’s engine purrs to life on its own.

Fugitive and thief lock eyes through the windshield, each holding half the tape that could burn Vegas to the ground.

A retro-futurist joyride into who owns the night.

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