Alright. I'm game. My script is really short on mystery and really long on plagiarism. And I don't mean me stealing from others. Okay, maybe I do.

The real mystery will be ... who wrote this damn thing for all 18 entrants?!

I'm in your heat. And I agree. It's way too narrow a subject.
 
I think I found a somewhat unique take (hopefully not one of your 5!).

That is twisted and brilliant.  I love it.

Hello, fellow mystery/plagiarite!
 
Mystery/plagiarism really puzzled me at first.  It took me four hours to get to the point where I could even see a storyline.
 
And people complain about THEIR assignments!  Plagiarism is way narrower than anything else I have seen thus far.
 
You're right - there are about five different options, depending on how far you are willing to stretch both genre and subject.  I hope mine is unique enough (and well-written enough) to win the heat.
