## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Chicago winter, neon on wet pavement. A brother’s name scrawled on a morgue tag. A badge pressed to a stranger’s chest.

Brothers split by city and holler, one in uniform, one with a rifle and a grudge.

Irvin’s moral brawl moves like a backroad chase scene.

**Mood tags**: outsider, raw
