## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Miami airport + noon + the sound of shattering bone. Fresh out of prison, Junior arrives and immediately kills a Hare Krishna, then steals the badge of a detective who soon can't recall his own name. He falls for Susie, a sex worker, and poses as law enforcement.
Pure Hiaasen-esque crime farce, filtered through early Demme.

**Mood tags**: pitch-black, raw, unhinged
