One Line Synopsis

Increasingly, when I plan on making a series of something, I feel like I need to justify and explain what I'm doing. One Line Synopsis (synopses) will be attempting to describe the basics of something in one simple sentence. The something will usually be a film, a book, and hopefully I can manage albums as well (at least, concept albums). Usually, plots will likely be too complicated and the synopsis will hence be a more thematic representation. I will also try to avoid concentrator words like "and" that would allow complication and multiplicity of ideas.
