THE PROPHETS
By Travis James Annabel

GENRE: Action, Drama
LOGLINE:

After the devastating terrorist bombing of the FBI's New York field office, troubled Special Agent Madison Grey discovers she has foreseen future events in her dreams and must race against time and a growing civil unrest to prevent a catastrophe.

SYNOPSIS:

Talented but troubled Agent MADISON GREY of the FBI is investigating an otherwise peaceful Arabic man named HASSAN who claimed to be a ‘Prophet’ and blew up the FBI’s Manhattan field office. As racial tensions escalate throughout New York and the rest of the world after a number of similar terrorist attacks perpetrated by a diverse range of individuals, Madison discovers that she has inherited Hassan’s prophetic abilities. Having foreseen a catastrophic future event, Madison begins investigating a group of other “Prophets” including a troubled woman named LAURA, who is seemingly intent on enacting the events of her prophecy. As the city’s population goes mad on racial hate and full blown civil unrest breaks out, Madison’s warnings to her overwhelmed superiors fall on deaf ears. She must act alone to change future history before millions of people are killed.

What kind of bombing? (one word adjective) What kind of agent is Madison? (one word adjective) - all facts, no flavor yet.

Thanks for reading! Great feedback too, I will tweak the logline and expand the synopsis. Much appreciated.

To me, the adjectives in a logline each illustrate the "shard of glass" of the hero, the villain, and the story's conflict. Read the movie thumbnails that your TV provider uses for their films as practice. For example, what adjective offers to the potential reader/viewer what your Agent's weakness is?
