Crossword Genius

Plot involved car noise (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scenario

'plot' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'involved car noise' is the wordplay.
'involved' is an anagram indicator (involved can mean confusing or complex).
'car'+'noise'='carnoise'
'carnoise' with letters rearranged gives 'SCENARIO'.

(Other definitions for scenario that I've seen before include "In plot of movie, for instance" , "Imagined situation" , "Iron case (anag)" , "plotting for a film" , "Written outline of a film or play" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
