## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Near-future Juárez, walls taller than the cacti. Gigantic pipes hiss steam into the barrio.

Water sold by drones, labor streamed through cyber-veins. A migrant worker modifies his arms to steal data streams. A drone operator in Tijuana receives stolen memories, watches his own execution.

Rivera’s other-worlds touch like live wires.

**Mood tags**: cerebral, neon-soaked, outsider, paranoid
