## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

You juggle scrap-metal in a Brooklyn alley when your brother’s new wrestling move draws blood instead of cheers and the manager bolts with the night’s take. A third brother slides in with a rigged dice game to hunt him down. The camera lingers on sweat-stiffened singlets and the neon sign that never blinks.

**Mood tags**: raw, unhinged
