Synopsis:
Definition Please opens on the Scribbs National Spelling Bee in 2005. We meet our young lead character, Monica Chowdry, as she annihilates the competition to win the trophy. We fast forward thirteen years later to a Pennsylvania suburb. Now in her mid-twenties, Monica cares for her ailing mother, still lives at home, and has an unusual penchant for “seeing” words to define strangers. When Monica’s brother Sonny returns home to help with family obligations, tensions arise and secrets are revealed. Can the bickering siblings set aside their differences to help mom prepare for the anniversary of their dad’s death? Or will years of bottled up emotions finally tear this close knit family apart?
