I would avoid using the term, face her fears in this logline, because the lead’s goal is to prove her innocence, and I don’t see how, for example, her facing her fear of spiders, or facing her fear of rejection, would prove her innocence.
On the other hand, if you had a story about someone needing to be rescued on top a skyscraper and the lead had a fear of heights then he would have to ‘overcome his fear’ in order to achieve his goal. but even then, you wouldn’t have to say he must face his fear because it is heavily implied by the situation.

“When her husband is murdered and her fingerprints are found on the weapon, a bipolar widow must (Do this thing) in order to prove her innocence.”
I personally LOVE films that make you question the protagonists sanity so this sounds great! I think you could remove “body of the mayor turns up dead along a baron shore” it’s redundant and the specifics of the scenery aren’t important. I would also suggest adding something that strongly indicates she could be framed but she could be “crazy” and actually did it.
Example:
When a bipolar Mayoress is accused of murdering her husband, she must confront her darkest nightmares in order to prove her innocence to the police, the public, and most of all to herself.
I hope this is helpful 🙂
