## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Concrete dust in the air, late summer 2003. A young guard moves through cell blocks under fluorescent hum, trading glances with a detainee who sketches birds on scrap paper.  
Two men pass time in a room where time is punishment.  
Less *Full Metal Jacket* than a grim doodle in a soldier’s notebook.

**Mood tags**: dread, gut-punch, raw
