The provided synopsis is very short.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: If I only use the provided facts, I cannot reach 280 words without repeating myself or adding fluff, which violates the "neutral, encyclopedic prose" and "never invent" rules.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
