The lives of Moses Hudson, a retired alcoholic cop, turned paranormal investigator; Alex Norvin, an unemployed writer; and Laura Norvin, a radio personality, are thrust into chaos after awakening at a Haunted Arkansas Bed and Breakfast with zero memory of how they arrived seconds after an active shooter event at a truck stop.
Remember that a LOGLINE is referred to as a One-Line (and is usually 1 or at most 2 lines). You're giving a synopsis. A logline might be something like this: A paranormal investigator, a writer, and a radio personality find themselves at an abandon B&B with no memory of how they got there. You dRead more
Remember that a LOGLINE is referred to as a One-Line (and is usually 1 or at most 2 lines). You’re giving a synopsis.
A logline might be something like this:
A paranormal investigator, a writer, and a radio personality find themselves at an abandon B&B with no memory of how they got there.
You don’t need to give away Moses was a cop or Alex is unemployed, but I would use DJ or Talk show host (or whatever Laura does on radio). Also the shooting is in the story not the logline.
We know who they are, and what the story is from that one sentence. Why they’re there is why I’ll pay $15 to see.

You don't want this to be a synopsis, but a logline, so don't give all this info. Attempt to make it more concise: It is assumed, because you say alibi wife, that they married with her knowing he was gay, so why would she be separate?

“A father” = protagonist
” presumed dead” = inciting incident
” explains to his son the connection between his dreams and heaven” = main character goal
A father is archetypal, an emotionally powerful relationship bridging generation and ensuring genetic immortality. ” presumed dead” is evocative, but vague. Who caused the death, the son? Was it an accident or … murder!?
While a philosophical debate about heaven’s relationship to dreams may engage some audiences (I for one certainly believe dream work is a valuable tool for story development), it lacks tangibility. In particular, the Adventure genre is very ‘physical’, outwardly moving toward a clear and material goal. The hero must get the Witch’s broom, the police Chief must kill the man eating shark, Batman must capture the Joker, etc …. you get the picture.
Perhaps a McGuffin resides in heaven/dream land, that must be stolen by a hero, to win back his son’s love … just riffing ideas!
