## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

You’re a hardened warlord in medieval Scotland when three strangers whisper your rise to power and your wife empties your veins of mercy. A crown glints in the blood on your hands but every step forward peels another layer off your soul. Polanski freezes the moment right before collapse, leaving the air thick with it.
