## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

You drill into the planet’s pulse and the ground answers with a fault that won’t quit. A controlled explosion meant to heal energy hunger instead pries open a fissure that keeps widening under every tremor. The director lets the landscape do the talking: trembling horizons, a horizon you can no longer trust.

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