## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Venice Beach, summer dusk, the tinkle of a broken sidewalk bell.

A detective with a gold chain and a limp trails a Chihuahua thief through a Laundromat’s back room. The dog barks. A leather jacket with a folded twenty inside slides across a Formica counter.

Moves like late Elmore Leonard by way of 70s car-chase TV.

**Mood tags**: playful, raw
