## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Texas plains. Winter wind. A crumpled road map.
An FBI agent hunts the man he thinks kidnapped his son, though his superiors benched him for bias. Local law enforcement watches as the agent closes in, another victim surfacing nearby.
Stuart’s neo-noir owes more than a little to *The Silence of the Lambs*.

**Mood tags**: neon-soaked, paranoid, raw
