"Our heart beats only with their permission." For as long as she can remember, the bookworm Synecdoche Rochet, 23, has lived a simple life in Maharlika Nation—hiding in the grasses and grains of District G to avoid the terrifying power of the Embassy and its ruthless Ambassador. In a dytopian world that is controlled and opressed, Synecdoche Rochet embarks on a mission to get back their rights on their district's valuable resources—the grains. When she discovered her intellectual ability, she found herself drawn to the charismatic Giovanni, the long-lost Ambassador's previleged son together with other intelligent students, Ulap, Token and Keithwarth. They found themselves being the tributes on the 2nd Maharlika Spelling TwistBee—trapped in the Word Arena. An annually commemorated survival game where each district will represent 1 letter in the Alphabet, spell the given English words not verbally, but by brutal killings of other competitors who have letter tattoos on their arms. The rules are to Spell and Kill. Within the killer's reach, the team-up of Synecdoche, Giovanni, Ulap, Token and Keithwarth isn't a coincidence, it's a conspiracy. What if Synecdoche's age will be reversed? Will they use their intelligence for vengeance? Will they compel love and trust to survive the battle royale? Is their life the price or the prize? "Even the shortest word has the longest meaning. Spell the words and kill with swords!"

Si Eli ay isang huwarang estudyante at kasalukuyang nangunguna sa kanilang klase. Kilala siya bilang isang tahimik na tao at walang interes sa ibang bagay bukod sa pag-aaral. Iyon na rin siguro ang isa sa pinakadahilan kung bakit walang maituturing na kaibigan sa school si Eli. Lingid sa kaalaman ng kanyang mga kaklase, si Eli ay isang closeted gay. Dahil sa fear of rejection at mahusgahan ng iba, mas pinipiling mapag-isa ni Eli kaysa makihalubilo sa kanyang mga kaklase. Isang gabi habang nagrereview si Eli para sa isang exam kinabukasan, napukaw ang kanyang atensiyon sa isang online advertisment. Ito ay isang 'dating' application na tinatawag na MATCHED, na kung saan ay maaari kang makakilala at makatagpo ng taong para sa iyo... As a gay person. Dahil sa masidhing kuryusidad ay dali-daling dinampot ni Eli ang kanyang cellphone para idownload ang MATCHED para simulang hanapin ang taong kukumpleto sa tinatago niyang pagkatao.
