## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Fog clings to the porch light of a cabin in the pines, late autumn.  
A sister appears with a cracked suitcase; her brother flinches at a text from a name he’d deleted.  
Shot like a 1970s paranoia thriller where the Wi-Fi never works and trust is the first system to crash.

**Mood tags**: paranoid, slow-burn, tender
