## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Black plastic telephone coils on a desk. A drunk driver’s headlights slice a motel sign.

The city’s crimes are all the same: joyrides, back-alley brawls, lovers’ quarrels ending in knives. A pair of outsiders—one weathered, one green—trace the pattern to a single birthday party’s punch bowl.

S.F. slasher on the scent of a wish come true.

**Mood tags**: body-horror, neon-soaked, paranoid, unhinged
