Need input on this logline

A preacher new to booming cattle town straddles the fence between vengeance and forgiveness after his family is killed when he is mistaking to be a rogue gang member.

Kerry Douglas Dye

"mistaking to be"? How about "mistaken for"?

Chris Tipton

Setting new bounderies in his faith, a preacher experiences just how wild the west really is after watching his family killed by an intransigent gang leader.

Just tryin to find the right combo without being too long. I think around 25 words is the unsaid mark. Thanks for your input

Ok its a western as u can see.. so its a new preacher come to town after last one ran off with gangs money. (Think red sash gang etc) the gang leader sends someone in to kill the preacher and his family but only succeeds in killing the family not knowing this was not the right family. The one who did it was caught by sherriff but released due to the corrupt influence Gang leader has over government officials in the area. Then we see the preacher fight against his faith with each step towards revenge for his family.
