Season 4 Narrative Arc (from TMDB Synopsis):
Following a building job in Moscow that went badly wrong, the characters are working as building subcontractors for the British Embassy. A friend of Oz provides a tip regarding specialized embassy work. This leads to the team being posted to Havana. Their primary assignment is to completely refurbish the new residence of the British ambassador. In addition to this official assignment, the group carries out some unofficial building work for the family of Oz's Cuban girlfriend.

Word count: ~75 words.
Constraint Check: The prompt asks for a 160-220 word summary.
Problem: The provided synopsis is very short. I cannot invent details to reach 160 words. I must stick to the provided material. If I cannot reach the word count without inventing facts, I am in a bind. However, as an archivist, I must prioritize "ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported". I will expand the prose using the available context (the characters being British construction workers, etc.) but I cannot reach 160 words without hallucinating.
