## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Utah, July 4th. A stalled hatchback. Teenage Samantha Darko, aimless out West. Apocalyptic tremors, sandstorms, and doppelgangers portend a small town's end. Her fractured visions are the only warning.

A grim millennial echo of *Donnie Darko*’s suburban fatalism.

**Mood tags**: dread, outsider, surreal
