## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Dilapidated motel off Route 66, midsummer. A neon vacancy sign buzzes like a dying insect.

Two old friends stumble through an abandoned roller rink, trading a bottle of whiskey for memories and a rusted key.

Pellington’s stylized unease slithers beneath every secondhand glow.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, gut-punch, raw
