## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

The Pacific in autumn, salt on the lawyer’s collar from the courtroom steps. A golden widow’s gold digger husband weaves silk ties through his fingers in a glass booth while a disbarred attorney sharpens pencils like knives. The air tastes of iodine and lies.

A trial by sunlight striped through venetian blinds. She quotes case law in silk scarves; he counts the seconds before the subpoena drops.

Like a John Grisham fever dream directed by Polanski’s paranoid cousin.

**Mood tags**: neon-soaked, paranoid, raw
