## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Coral cracking under a sickly yellow dawn.  
Men in chains drag themselves onto wet sand, followed by a medic with salt-crusted glasses.  
A concrete bunker hums behind palm fronds, and dinner is served under a chandelier of shark teeth.  
Less Jules Verne, more junkyard Kubrick with a taxidermied stingray.
