## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Northbound asphalt, heat shimmering through August. A girl with a grocery bag full of stolen knives hitches a ride.

Her driver slurps cherry Slurpees, knows the exit names like personal prayers. Too many long pauses between sentences.

Bright’s neon grindhouse wolf howls loud enough to hear over the radio.

**Mood tags**: paranoid, raw, unhinged
