You know how when you reach the highest point on that mountain? I thought you were there a few loglines ago.

Once you make it up that hill, there's only one way after that- and that's back down.

Don't over-think it. You will never find the "perfect" logline. If it's not hitting all of the chords with you, the fault lies in the story, not the logline. This is why loglines are so important. They actually flush out the weakness of the concept, not the weakness of the logline as much.

Make sure all the elements are represented, the tone of the genre is clear, it answers "the question", and that it is thirty words all less.

Beyond that, you hope and pray, and move on to another day...
