## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Bleak winter light on a bus-stop poster. A four-pronged story stretches between neon London and a domed faith city where every shadow is a prayer.

A bullet fired in Meanwhile City ripples outward, stitching together strangers who don’t know each other’s names yet share the same wound.

A classic mid-century mecha puzzle in a flesh-colored time warp.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, paranoid, surreal
