Two cops take a guy they to beat info out of him regarding another cops murder but he uses their paranoia to get them to turn on each other and release him.
When their former partner is murdered, two shady cops take their lead suspect to beat a confession out of him but when their captive starts playing them against each other, their trust in each other crumbles as their paranoia grows.

I’m pretty new to loglines so apologies if this doesn’t help. I’m just getting some practice in.

Agree with most of the previous comments. When I first read small isolated village for some reason I imagine it somewhere like Africa but I don't know whether this is correct. To me, the result of this spreading further has more of an impact if it's based somewhere highly populated. I think it wouldRead more
Agree with most of the previous comments. When I first read small isolated village for some reason I imagine it somewhere like Africa but I don’t know whether this is correct. To me, the result of this spreading further has more of an impact if it’s based somewhere highly populated. I think it would be good to have some idea what’s at risk if it spreads. Would it drastically change the premise to have it based in Washington DC (or similar) where the risk of it getting into government could have global repercussions? Politicians and bullshit go hand-in-hand after all…

Thanks for the clarification of the ideas you’re playing with in the story.? Risk taking is substantively different from trust issues between characters.? Or characters trusting themselves.
>>> with climbing being a metaphor for more mundane risks and the need to trust both yourself and others in life.
Trust is necessary — but, really, is it sufficient?? You can trust yourself fully and fall to your death because your confidence is not backed up with commensurate competence.? Ditto if you place your trust in someone who doesn’t have the competence.
>>> an experienced climber who?s risk aversion
That strikes me as an oxymoron.? Because if he was truly risk aversive (as yours truly is), he wouldn’t be a rock climber.? And if he’s experienced, he would know better than to partner up with someone who lacked the competence and confidence to be a safe climbing companion.? No, not even out of love because that’s the kind of love that could get them both killed.
Risk taking should not be confabulated with recklessness.? The latter necessarily entails the former, but? the logic is not bidirectional: the former does not necessarily entail the latter.
Whatever, you have the issue of risk dissipated among 4 characters instead of concentrated on one.? To be sure, you are thinking along the right line by having every character embody a facet of the theme, positively or negatively.
But it is usually best if one character is the focal point character of the theme, the one who embodies the most important facet of the theme, who is also the natural alpha character of the group . IOW: it is usually best if the logline clearly designates a protagonist.
fwiw
