## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Midnight Los Angeles, storm-lashed. A birth in a bathtub’s bubbling red.

A newborn’s first scream cracks the night. Its tiny claws thrash the air, drawn to screaming voices like sirens.

Cohen’s creature thrives on panic—tiny terror in a yellow onesie.

**Mood tags**: 3am-cult, dread, gut-punch
