## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Brooklyn docks, July heat off the East River.

A bullet shells the night behind a triple-parked Bonneville. The mayor’s brother watches; the younger, the marshal, eyes his badge before pocketing it.

French thriller trades grins for gunmetal, then sighs its last cigarette.

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