    "What the fuck is Day Court?" or "Stop subscribing to the Business Factory School of Writing."

Don't tell me your story in your story description · 1:05pm Jun 23rd, 2016

People will only read the first two sentences of your description unless they're damn good sentences, so make sure they're damn good sentences. Explaining the fine details of your story will be boring because walls of text are shit and there won't be any context; your story description is not an appropriate place to dump exposition. Explain in broad, punchy terms what people will find in your story, but don't tell them how they will find those things:

Explain the premise, not the plot.

I looked around for a while to find a good example of this principle, and I found this. I haven't read it yet, so it might be shit. The only thing I'm endorsing here is the description because it doesn't waste my time, it makes me want to read the story, and it's memorable.
