## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Grim motel room at 3 AM, rain streaking the neon flicker overhead.

A law student counts pills between trembling fingers, wife’s perfume still clinging to his stepfather’s coat on the chair back.

A horror-trope routine with little to scare anyone past the opening credits.

**Mood tags**: mindfuck, paranoid
