## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Midwinter, steel wheels screaming across frozen prairie, a clown mask dangling from a luggage rack.

Six laughing revellers in rented costumes board their own private carriage, unaware the same mask now hides the face that remembers their old joke.

Spottiswoode’s slasher rolls straight out of a sleepless disco decade.
