I censor a depraved plot summary (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scenario

'plot summary' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'i censor a depraved' is the wordplay.
'depraved' is an anagram indicator.
'i'+'censor'+'a'='icensora'
'icensora' anagrammed gives 'SCENARIO'.

(Other definitions for scenario that I've seen before include "Film/novel plot outline" , "Summary of plot of play" , "Outline of dramatic work" , "Film script outline" , "In plot of movie, for instance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
