## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Dust-choked streets, high noon. A single wreath flutters on a gate.

A detective steps off the bus, heels clicking toward black limousines lined along cracked pavement. A water tanker’s distant groan follows him like a ghost.

Narrative coiled tight as a hose in the 70s drought-thriller canon.

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