Trailer and Plot of Drop

Dreamy, formal trumpet chords tease the trailer, and we watch Violet’s long-dormant smile crack like unexpected ice. The restaurant cuts to moving shadows, to her tapping the phone and Henry flushing pale. “You’ve lost your safety net,” the text warns. The dining room’s golden glow dims, the angels pocket their knives, and at 58 seconds Violet is running alone through the parking lot, purse swinging and high heels in the night. Cut to a bloodied watch.
