According to the question, the function of the underlined words: with exciting plot, is adjective phrase.
An adjective phrase can be defined as a group of words that always describe or modify a noun or pronoun in the sentence.
Further Explanation
In other words, an adjective phrase refers to a group of words which specify the name of anything or a pronoun such as: he, she, his, her, their, theirs and so forth, with a group of words in that same sentence.
Example: The tea cup with the red label is mine.
Cup is the noun and "with the red label" is the adjective phrase.
From the example above, it is understood that ''with the red label'' describes the noun "cup". In other words it distinguishes the cup from a variety of other cups.
Another example: Having tied to the tree, his wallet was stolen afterwards.
"his" is the pronoun and "having tied to the tree" is the adjective phrase.
From the sentence, "having tied to the tree" modifies the pronoun ''his'' and not a noun. This is because ''his'' is a pronoun which represents a noun, and having tied to the tree is therefore an adjective phrase simply because it modifies or tells us about "his".
Another Example:
Dale prefers to read books with exciting plots.
Again, it is seen that ''with the exciting plots'' tells us about the noun "book", and it's therefore an adjective phrase.
NOTE: Adjective phrase is usually an incomplete sentence used anywhere within a complete sentence for the purpose of describing either a noun or pronoun.
