## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Twilight on Incheon’s blackened mudflats, the tide groans.

One detective swabs blood from oyster shells; the other maps missing teeth onto a shrine of candles. A child’s shoe floats between them.

Like a grim instantiation of 70s Korean noir stripped of redemption.

**Mood tags**: dread, paranoid, raw
