Synopsis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A synopsis is a summary given in brief terms that covers the major points of a subject matter. In many cases it refers to the plot or facts of a film, book or some other kind of narrative. Synopses are usually more in-depth than a mere "summary", and aim to give a fair idea of the topic. In many cases, however, they will omit spoilers or only introduce the subject; in the case of a plot, they will cover only the first portion (often to try to make the audience see or read the real thing).
