An agent I queried just asked for a partial and a two-page synopsis. I'm CERTAIN this question has been answered countless times around here, but searching the word "synopsis" turns up about a million posts. :)

My question is actually a fairly simple one. When they say 2-pages, is that single-spaced or double-spaced? And it's essentially just a longer version of the story summary I included in my initial query right... though obviously pizzazed up to intrigue somebody to read and want to get to know my characters?

I'd single space and insert blank lines between paragraphs. It's not for editing, it's for reading.

Also, the synopsis differs from your query in that it clearly shows the ending.

I did mine single spaced, indents for paras, no spaces. For longer than two pages, you'd go double spaced.
