Shadows in the Spotlight

SCENE 1

Backroom Threat

Dimly lit backstage of a dingy LA club. — Ji-Yeon stands tense against a graffiti-stained wall, flanked by Mr. Baek, who towers over her, his face half-shadowed by neon light.

SCENE 2

Deals and Regret

Crumbling apartment kitchen, empty takeout boxes and overdue bills everywhere. — Grace slumps at a cluttered table, staring at a battered contract while Ji-Yeon enters, both exhausted and wary.

SCENE 3

The Challenge

Underground studio, wrestling ring, harsh fluorescent lights overhead. — Ji-Yeon and Grace, drenched in oil, face off in the center of the ring as a small crew watches.

SCENE 4

Guidance in Shadows

Nighttime rooftop, LA skyline glittering in the distance. — Mina stands by Ji-Yeon, a gentle hand on her shoulder, showing her a burner phone with encrypted texts.

SCENE 5

Baek’s Warning

Luxurious private office, city lights through floor-to-ceiling windows. — Mr. Baek, arms crossed, glowers as he leans forward over his desk, monitors behind him displaying surveillance footage.

SCENE 6

Ready for Retribution

Concrete parking garage, shadows looming, headlights backlighting the duo. — Ji-Yeon and Grace, side by side, faces battered but alive with fire, step toward the camera clutching duffel bags.
