## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Hazy neon motel, midnight, a busted Fender case. A drifter and a cool-headed runaway hunt a 78 lost in a jukebox’s scratches. A race through the Delta’s razored chords and hotel-room chess of desire. Walter Hill’s back-alley blues asks who owns a ghost’s lick.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, neon-soaked, raw
