SAME AS IT EVER WAS
By J R O'Hara

GENRE: Drama, Crime
LOGLINE:

A man who has been on auto-pilot for years - trying to please people and slowly losing touch with himself - comes home from a trip and discovers that his wife has been murdered, sending him on a journey to rediscover his creative essence.

E Langley

After a people-pleasing Man returns from a business trip to discover his wife has been murdered, he [what???].

[struggles to prove his innocence.] [runs to avoid arrest and find the real killer.] [faces police skeptical of his innocence.] [is found guilty of murder and fights to prove his innocence.] See: THE FUGITIVE. [struggles to stay alive when the hitman hired to kill her comes for him.]

The logline is just the set up. What are the conflicts, stakes and goals after finding her dead? The adds about autopilot and losing touch with himself are irrelevant - unless they're germane to the plot.

Good luck.
