## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A backwoods cabin, winter. A man drags a bound woman inside by the hair.

He locks her in the cellar to break her spirit before parole. Neighbors catch glimpses through snow-dusted windows.

A blunt folk-horror allegory, as stark as Sam Peckinpah’s knife-work.

**Mood tags**: dread, gut-punch, raw
