GENRE: Thriller, Crime
LOGLINE:

A diamond courier’s heist goes awry when her jet carrying six vacationing singles to the Caymans gets diverted to an isolated airfield in Canada, leaving the passengers to battle thieves and murderers before escaping. [Optioned 10/04/21; no longer available] 

SYNOPSIS:

A stunning blonde “CAPTAIN” Sheri Zenner (mid-30s) runs tourists from the snow belt to the Cayman Islands. She also runs diamonds, which her flippant flight attendant, MAURICE Bisset (25), knows nothing about. The six single Canadian passengers on a Christmas getaway from Toronto include; “DOC” Brennan (40s) a spinster physician, DAN Gardner (30s), a tall dark and handsome attorney; mysterious EVA Madrone (22) a femme fatale; ROBERT Lansing (22) a dapper trust-fund baby in Hawaiian shirt and shorts; “PROFESSOR” Trent Dettinger (late-40s, heavyset) in a tweed sports coat; and CASSY WILSON (30s) his exceptionally meek research assistant. The Captain knows one of the passengers is secretly a security guard for the underworld BOSS (40s, female) in the diamond trade, but who? On everyone’s mind is escaping to a beautiful Caribbean beach resort, especially the Captain, who is planning the heist of the century. Everyone is an opportunist; some are better at it than others.

Adam -- thanks a ton! Yours in much better. Mind if I use it?

Tom Stohlgren

Thanks, Pamala, that's good too... I'm struggling to work the leading female lead (the Captain) into the logline -- it's challenging.... ha! and fun!

Adam Steinfeld

Sure no problem, you're welcome to use logline, or add to it. As far as: CAPTAIN” Sheri Zenner, "a sultry rouge tourist guide, that cares more about profiting in diamonds than tourists happiness", it's a bit too long, but a few buzz words might help you. Best of luck.

Tom Stohlgren

More good ideas -- Thanks, Adam... still rethinking it.

Rutger Oosterhoff

"Iced in Quarantine". That is a damn "cool" title, Tom! For working the protag into the logline and keep it under, let us say 33 words, go to www.logline.it Maybe one of the three champions there (or all three) has an idea...

Tom Stohlgren

Thanks, Rutger... you always have positive and helpful comments!
