## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Village roads slick with monsoon mud. A reporter’s camcorder hums in the dark.

Footage uncovers a child’s drawing, a missing child, a burning shrine. One clue leads to another.

Three act, found-footage J-horror that keeps its static zoom.

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