## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Rain-slicked Hong Kong alley, winter, a dented lunchbox tossed beside a payphone.  
A novice assassin tracks a target while dodging debt collectors and his own clumsy instincts.  
Like a John Woo film directed by a man who’s seen too many police procedurals before breakfast.

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