Overview (Narrative Arc):
The provided synopsis describes the general premise of the show: Chip Foose and his A-Team work with an insider to stage a fake robbery or towing of an unsuspecting mark's vehicle. Once the car is taken, the team is tasked with rebuilding it within a seven-day timeframe. This week-long process involves various pranks and encounters with angry marks. The narrative culminates on D-Day, which is the day the mark is reunited with their rebuilt car.
Word count check: The synopsis is very short. I need to expand it to 160-220 words using only the provided facts.
Problem: The synopsis provided is only about 55 words. The instructions say "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES." If I expand it to 160-220 words, I will inevitably have to repeat myself or use filler, which might violate the "verifiable facts" rule or the "do not invent" rule. However, the prompt requires a 160-2
