## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Rain-slicked D.C. streets in November. A dead judge’s typewriter, a mute man’s trembling hands.  
A public defender and a juror trace lies through polished corridors and alleyways alike.  
Like Pakula’s ghosts with less patience, more trench coats.

**Mood tags**: cerebral, paranoid, raw
