Episode: S10E1 (Black).
Plot: Dean is a demon. He is running amuck with Crowley. Sam is trying to figure out what happened to his brother. Castiel is dealing with his fading grace.
Context: The series follows brothers Sam and Dean Winchester. Sam is played by Jared Padalecki and Dean is played by Jensen Ackles. The series was created by Eric Kripke.
The synopsis is extremely brief: "Dean is a demon and running amuck with Crowley while Sam tries to figure out what happened to his brother. Meanwhile, Castiel is dealing with his fading grace."
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: I cannot invent plot points. If I only use the synopsis, I will only have about 35 words.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Conflict: The prompt asks for 280-380 words, but also says "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing" and "Never invent or guess... plot points."
