## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Mexico City’s dry heat clattered with marimba tunes.

A new bride steps off a steamship with nothing but a veil and a name she barely whispers. Inside the brownstone’s blue parlor, taxidermy birds watch. Past parlors, a bolted door hums like a held breath.

Lang’s noir folds romance into shadow until the lock clicks.
