## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A sun-bleached New York studio, 3 a.m. A lipstick-smeared wine glass hums on the nightstand, still.

Failed actress Alex Sternbergen wakes to a stranger’s corpse beside her, pulse thundering, no memory past midnight. Joaquin won’t answer the phone; friends all live on other coasts now.

Only ex-cop Turner Kendall remembers the bar tab in her coat pocket.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, paranoid, raw
