On the verge of a nervous breakdown, uptight librarian Anthe uses alcohol to unlock her repressed urges. When they push her towards violent outbreaks and murder, she must confront her animalistic side before she harms herself or her loved ones.
I like the character description and think its intriguing to see a protagonist fight disturbing urges underneath, the only note I would offer is the use of the word "they" - who are "they"? To me "they" could be anything between cyborgs or library patrons :-)

A logline's primary function is to describe a plot, and this is best constructed out of clear detail, not vague statements. You need to clearly describe the inciting incident and goal in order for a plot to come across, or risk a reader's confusion. In your current draft you wrote: "...have their frRead more
A logline’s primary function is to describe a plot, and this is best constructed out of clear detail, not vague statements. You need to clearly describe the inciting incident and goal in order for a plot to come across, or risk a reader’s confusion.
In your current draft you wrote: “…have their freedom threatened…”, I presume this is the inciting incident, but it isn’t clear what actually happened. If they were kidnapped specify it, if they were forced into slavery specify it, whatever it is that happened needs to be clear from the logline.
You also wrote: “…they must face the evil lurking in their nightmares…”, but, as Richiev said, what does that mean in practical terms? What will they actually do? How will they “…face the evil…”? How will this help them?
Lastly, what do they hope to achieve by facing the evil? This is their goal and needs to be made clear in the logline.

David, you’ve posted several versions of this one concept already and have received many good notes from others to help you improve it, but have not implemented them. Seeing as you are obviously passionate about this story, I strongly suggest you read through, and study, the comments already given as most of them still apply.
The point of this web site is to improve our loglines and concepts. This, sometimes, requires fundamental changes to a story and a ground-up restructuring of a logline, not symbolically adjusting one or two words to form a cosmetic change to the sentence.
Sorry if I sound a bit harsh, but at this stage, this is the best advice I can think of to help you improve this concept and logline.
And I certainly hope this helps.
