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.

^You're supposed to include a title for the next person to continue the game...
Blues Hill: a story about a place out of time, a shack on a hill somewhere in the American South, sometime pre-WW 2. It's a haven for oppressed blacks that white people don't seem to know exists, a place people meet to eat, drink, tell stories and make music, to nourish their souls before reluctantly returning to the brutal world outside... or staying forever, as some choose to do. It's about the myriad ways people cope with oppression, and the fine line between self-care and complete detachment.

Too long was it allowed to creep around the corners of civil life, until it came to lurk throughout all those corners and the fields of rest were tainted one by one under its spread of malice. Akademik Svetlana Morkhinin has returned to her home to test proposed "reclamation measures" on the smouldering graves of her family. Mere flamethrowers and napalm had failed. Only literal holocaust had proven itself in halting the spread of the Cryptreiver Fungus. Could an old report from her father's banned project hold a solution, or would the entire planet have to burn on a pyre?
