Write A Plot From The Title (Writing Game)

Go To

If you're familiar with Contextualize/Whamise This Line, then you may know how this will work. However, instead of a line, you must write a plot/synopsis based off a title from a work in a "Poster above you" format. For example...

Troper A: Soul Surfer

Troper B: Soul Surfer is a cyberpunk action film about a man who has the unique ability to go into the bodies of other people, and must do this to clear his name for a crime he hasn't committed.

Something like that. I'm just hoping I'm being concise enough. Alright, let's begin.

Exactly What It Says on the Tin...NOT! This is the story of a popular high school student who becomes fascinated with political theory after picking up one of her brother's college reads. She starts using the concepts presented in famous philosophy books to further her goals but ends up taking them a bit too seriously.
