When her husband and the lawyer she blames for her sister?s death are found murdered, a battered woman struggles to prove her innocence after the Police discover her plan to get her violently jealous husband to murder the lawyer in order to free herself from her marriage.

Richiev, I take your point. I think what makes the logline fascinating is the ‘killing two birds with one stone’ scheme. Otherwise it’s a pretty run-of-the-mill genre story about an aggrieved woman who may or may not be guilty of her husband’s murder.

I agree that the logline is long and I’m open to improving it. I’ve seen some pretty long marketing loglines for scripts that got sold so I don’t think length alone is an issue.

I think I’m going to say ” must prove her innocence’ rather than struggles to prove her innocence ‘ because the Police believe they can secure a conviction on the basis that she planned a murder and so they can establish motive, means and opportunity.
