The synopsis is extremely short: "Demons of the past come back to haunt Gibbs when he finds a cryptic message waiting for him at a crime scene."
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: There is almost no information to reach 280 words without violating the "never invent or guess" rule.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Conflict: The user asks for 280-380 words, but the instructions say "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess" and "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
