## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Washington, D.C., winter. A medal ceremony tent glows under slush-stained streetlights.  
A soldier flees through steam rising from a manhole, then a bloodied coat lies abandoned on wet pavement.  
This is noir as wartime loyalty curdles into suspicion—Cromwell cold-drags the genre into the atomic age.

**Mood tags**: dread, paranoid, tender
