## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Dust-choked August. A child’s kite snagged in dead elm branches.

A father hands over rent in cash. A mother folds the deed into her Bible. The attic’s wallpaper breathes when no one watches.

A 70s Gothic that mutters through every hinge.

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