## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

You navigate a radiation-blasted highway in a jury-rigged tank-truck, dodging mutated coyotes, while the radio picks up only static. The last map shows a smudge labeled Albany. One engine coughs out smoke, and the others argue over a dwindling canteen. Jack Smight frames the journey not as triumph but as survival’s slow unraveling.

**Mood tags**: raw, unhinged
