## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

The Bolshoi’s frozen stone steps at dawn. Ice crackles under ballet shoes turned cold. A torn ligament ends one life, offers another.

Sparrow School’s mirrored halls swallow her whole. Memory and muscle become knives, silence becomes seduction.

A genre hybrid drifts between noir and train wreck, efficiently.

**Mood tags**: paranoid, raw, sexy
