## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Rush-hour streets at dusk, sirens echoing off the Presidio’s brick. A civilian detective and a colonel circle the same corpses on turf neither officially recognizes. A daughter’s like a minefield between them.

Feints like 1980s procedural, yet the fights still feel post-Vietnam.

**Mood tags**: paranoid
