"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!"

"Palagi na lang kasi akong nari-reject kapag nagpapasa ako ng libro ko sa Good Nobela at hindi ako pwedeng ma-reject this year. Alam mo namang may usapan kami ng Daddy. Hindi na niya ako pipilitin na mag-masteral kapag may naipasa akong libro. Eh, lagi akong nari-reject dahil nga ang mga sinusulat ko raw ay walang kilig. Kailangan daw mag-focus ako sa nararamdaman ng bida kapag nandyan ang mahal niya." -- Jornaliza Smith Ang nais lang naman ni Jornaliza Smith ay maging sikat na manunulat kaya nagpaturo siya sa bestfriend niyang si Luigi Chances kung paanong maging ‘manyak’. Kahit kasi kahit 23 years old na siya hindi pa siya nakaranas ng first kiss. So, paano pa niya mailalarawan kung paanong umakyat sa ikapitong glorya? On going na ang 'erotic session' nila ni Luigi ng biglang bumukas ang pintuan ng kanyang kuwarto at nakita sila ng kanyang Daddy na saksakan ng konserbatibo. Kaya, wala sa oras na napamartsa si Jornaliza sa harap ng altar. Shucks, ang nais lang niya ay maging sikat na manunulat, paano niya gagampanan ang papel bilang asawa kung wala namang spark sa pagitan nila ni Luigi? Eh, bakit parang may dumadaloy na milyun-milyong boltahe ng kuryente sa kanyang katawan kapag hinahalikan siya ng bestfriend niya?
