## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

South Dakota winter. A snow-plow’s blade shrieks past a skeletal border of cottonwoods.

A rookie agent in a rumpled suit steps from a Bureau sedan into dust-choked wind, handed a badge and a dull case file. Beside him, a grizzled cop lights a cigarette, flint scrape lost in the cold.

A film that mistakes fact for fiction and blurs its own fact-checking.
