BILLIE

BILLIE
By Christine Capone

GENRE: Drama, Crime
LOGLINE:

After her husband, a dedicated police officer, is murdered, a determined widow ventures into the heart of a quaint fishing town to unravel the truth behind his death, only to discover a tangled web of deceit and corruption involving the local fishermen, forcing her to confront the dark underbelly of the community she once trusted.

Hi Christine, solid idea! Giving me last season of THE SINNER vibes with this one. As it sounds like the ex-military wife is the protagonist here, I'd suggest placing her front-and-centre of your logline to make it clear she's the protagonist, and really sell the stakes of her conflict here.

For example: 'In a quaint New England fishing town, a highly-decorated ex-military soldier seeks answers and justice after discovering her cop husband's murder is linked to a dangerous underground drug ring.'

Christine Capone

Thanks Nate, using that! Sound much better!

Nate Rymer

No problem Christine, you can have it for free! :D

Christine Capone

haha Thank you! I hate doing log lines. My weakness for sure! So should I add "that involves local fishermen" at the end or just leave that for the synopsis?

Christine Capone

If you don't mind answering that : )

Nate Rymer

No problem! You could include that part if you wanted to, although it may be best to restructure the logline just to give it a bit of oomph :)

Maurice Vaughan

I really like the logline, Christine Capone. I would remove "military" because we know from "soldier" that she was in the military.

Christine Capone

Maurice, good point! thank you!

Maurice Vaughan

Nice work on the logline also, Nate Rymer.
