Available Info: Mysterious details are revealed regarding the death of Bob Lee's father, Earl. This leads Bob Lee towards a startling conspiracy that hits close to home.
Problem: The provided synopsis is extremely short (only 31 words). I cannot reach 160-220 words without inventing details, which is strictly forbidden.
