I believe this is a pretty solid logline attempt. Possibly mention who she is accused of murdering if it's important to the story.

“Wrongly sent to Hell for the murder of her husband, deceased teacher is granted 48 house on Earth to find the real killer.”
However, you may not want to start in Hell since there would be no upping the ante.
“In purgatory for the murder of her husband which she did not commit, a deceased teacher is granted 48 hours on earth to discover the true killer or be sentenced to Hell for eternity”

Essentially it’s a story of a treasure hunt in outer space: an odd couple must partner up to find a legendary fortune before some one else does.
Unlike the version 1.0, there is now a rival for the loot which should increase dramatic tension and suspension. ?That’s an improvement.
My problem concerns the stakes: ?these days, finding or stealing money or treasure for the sake of the loot is never enough in a movie. ?The principal characters want the money all right– but they also want to use the heist or hunt as a means to accomplish ?something else.
It seems to me that something more than mere greed for gain should be at stake.
Take “Ocean’s Eleven” (version 2.0). ?Danny Ocean hasn’t taken a vow of poverty. ?Nor has the man staking Danny, Ruben Tishkoff. ?Both also want more than just the money. ?Ruben wants revenge on Terry Benedict for muscling Ruben out of his casino and then blowing it up. ?Danny wants to win back his ex, Tess. who is now Benedict’s trophy girlfriend.
So, it seems to me, there needs to be something more at stake than the merely the satisfaction of greed in this story. ?What, I dunno. ?Although the Indiana Jones movies show how treasure hunts can have bigger and more socially redeemable stakes than mere greed.
