## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

An innocent sidles into a world that trades in perfection at a price. Lucy, a scholarship student, accepts a job that blurs the line between art and exploitation for a stipend that keeps her rent paid. The film’s quiet dread feels like a moral alarm clock no one wants to hear.

**Mood tags**: dread, sexy, slow-burn
