## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Garbage-strewn sidewalk at dusk, a single broken doll’s head rolling against a sewer grate.

A father’s evening shift interrupted by the policlinic’s gloved hands returning his wife’s bloody scarf.

William Lustig’s urban nightmare where a man learns the law is just another set of handcuffs.

**Mood tags**: dread, raw
