The camera pans over a small, quaint coastal town, perpetually shrouded in dull humidity and darkness. Streetlights hum against the gloom, illuminating a place of only a hundred families where vacation dread sets in. The scene cuts to you, standing alone on the pier bridge. The sea stretches out under a miserable, dark blue sky, the air thick with salt and stagnation.
