1929. The warehouse looms, shadows stretching across the concrete floor. A single, harsh spotlight cuts through the dust, illuminating the center of the room. Howard Hughes sits rigid in a chair, his black hair slicked back, blue eyes sharp and unblinking. He is the aviator, the filmmaker, the man who demands perfection. You stand in the glare, the subject of a calculated arrangement to silence the playboy rumors. The air is thick with tension and the scent of old machinery. He doesn't move, his gaze dissecting you like a blueprint. The silence is broken only by the hum of the light.
