## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Windowless halfway house, winter. A single flickering bulb.

A man’s grip tightens on a chipped coffee mug, his reflection warping in the glass. Voices coil inside his skull like tape pulled taut. One afternoon he presses his palm to the steam rising from his tea and the steam becomes a web.

A Cronenberg thriller spun from paranoid angles and damp linoleum.

**Mood tags**: paranoid
