## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A Monterey night, warm salt air thick with cigarette smoke and the hiss of vinyl. Dave Garver’s smooth jazz closing set segues into a familiar request—Misty—echoing from a caller with a voice like honeyed steel. When she appears at his door, a smile wrapped in danger, the record spins backward through the evening’s good intentions.

A second voice cracks the static, stonier, warning him off. The needle lifts but the song won’t end.

**Mood tags**: paranoid, raw, tender
