## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

1959. Illinois cornfield hums under starlight. Frozen hands twitch inside a crate.

A thawed alien pod releases slug-like creatures into a 1986 college town. Fraternity initiates become hosts, their bodies twisting—then hunting.

**Mood tags**: neon-soaked, playful, raw
