## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Cornwall coast, autumn, the groan of diesel generators cutting through sea fog.  
A rusted caravan at the edge of a restricted zone, a child’s drawing of a face with too many eyes left on the passenger seat.  
Less Hammer than haunted audit — think Cold War paranoia with a side of feral nursery rhymes.

**Mood tags**: dread, paranoid, slow-burn
