## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Dust hangs in the canyon air, late summer.  
A cracked church bell tolls; neighbors stand barefoot in dry grass, eyes wide, holding garden tools like weapons.  
Feels like Carpenter directing a Twilight Zone episode found in a shoebox under a Nevada motel bed.

**Mood tags**: dread
