## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Bombay docks, monsoon steam. A moneylender’s ledger, one name circled in red.

A German émigré in a linen suit is handed an unsigned photograph and a detonator. Board the Hikawa Maru or watch his sister’s ration card vanish.

Wicki’s Cold War chamber of mirrors, all sweat and silence.

**Mood tags**: cerebral, dread, paranoid, slow-burn
