## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

You're a beauty pageant hopeful practicing your walk in a Tijuana hall with sequins catching the fluorescent light and then gunfire erupts at a nightclub across town.  
Your cab driver vanishes mid-ride and you wake up in a military compound with a sniper rifle beside your dress.  
The camera never flinches but the anthem playing in the final frame is the one you hummed during preliminaries.

**Mood tags**: dread, paranoid, raw
