Jay Domingo, a 16-year old speller, gets triggered by a word that the spelling bee judges throw at him. This word forces Jay to confront an internal demon while all eyes are on him. Pressure is applied on all angles for Jay as he takes on the challenge. We learn that this word is not just any word, but a word that resurrects a tragic memory—the day he lost his grandfather, his Papa.
