## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A dirt road in autumn. A rusted pocketknife opens and closes.

He watches a squirrel twitch in the street before slipping it into his bag. A locked toolbox hums in the corner of his bedroom.

Like ‘Deliverance’ meets a suburban folk horror ballad.

**Mood tags**: dread, gut-punch, raw
