I hate rambling loglines that waffle on, so I was wary of including too much information. But the basic synopsis is Bilak returns home for the funeral of his best friend, Patrick. Patrick’s brother, Dida, gets wrongly arrested on the suspicion of his murder, but escapes police custody. Dida has never forgiven Bilak for abandoning his brother to attend university, and so he convinces Bilak to help him find the people responsible for Patrick’s murder. Bilak and Patrick’s relationship goes deeper than just friends: they were also lovers, which is why Bilak is so grief and guilt-stricken, and agrees to help Dida.
I like the idea. But I feel Bilak has to be the driving force. He doesn’t ‘agree’ to help Dida, he does it voluntary. Bilak might even not want the help. That deepens the conflict. Anyway, your log line teased me!
Thank you very much for taking the time to reply Koen 🙂 Great idea regarding making Bilak the driving force. Nothing worse than a passive protag.
