PROFOUND & ABSOLUTE (SAMPLE)
By Timothy Shireman
In this tense revenge thriller, a terminally-ill killer serving a life sentence faces prison justice and a new cellmate who harbors a dark secret of his own.
SYNOPSIS:
Travis Rexfield is a convicted killer serving a life sentence as terminal cancer eats him alive. A lifelong criminal, he is given a medical transfer back to his old Maximum Security stomping grounds. Once a feared and powerful inmate, he is now targeted for death by the very convicts he once ruled. With no available beds, he is placed in a cell with Temo 'Venga' Veraz, a Latino gang member from his hometown. Who is this young man? What is his agenda, and what dark connection binds these two men?

You may be right Meg. It's still very much a work in progress, so revisions are inevitable. But what do I know? I am also a rank amateur at this, by crikey. :)

Technically the logline is a one sentence summary or broad description of the work, so Timothy's logline is a fair one, I would say!
Thanks Len! I appreciate the feedback, Meg & Tasha.

Hi, Timothy Shireman. For a logline, you want something like: After ______ (something happens), a _______ (the protagonist with an adjective) must _______ (goal of story) so ________ (stakes).
The logline can be formatted differently than what I put, but the key parts are "after something happens," "the protagonist," "the goal," and "the stakes." You might want to add the antagonist in the logline also.
Example:
“Dog Treat Heist” (Animation/Comedy) After a group of dog criminals arrives in a small town, an impulsive dog sheriff must defend a dog treat factory so they won't steal food that's meant for hungry dog families.
