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.

A Separate Peace
Rookie Writer
The "inspiring" story of a man's rise to popularity with talks of a different type of peace separate from the tyrannical government of today, told from the POV of his childhood friend. The story begins with the two starting small with a podcast and slowly elevating to bigger platforms like talk shows and their own personalized website.
However, as the tale progresses, cracks begin to form in the man's narrative. The childhood friend starts having to associate with "Allies" of questionable character, and it seems that the "Tyrannical Government" is awfully benign in contrast to the man's statements. Any criticisms of this sort are shrugged off with a generic "Give him a chance".
It's only when the man is in a position of power, that the childhood friend finally realizes to his horror just exactly what he means by "A Separate Peace".
