      It seems to me their claim could be the inciting incident for him. The suicide of his wife – however important for the script – doesn’t help the logline & can be removed.

      When the corporate his daughter works for claims she doesn’t exist, a single father must [objective goal]

      I agree with variable.

      The death of her wife is part of her backstory that will be very important for her character development but, ultimately, has no impact on?her objective goal of saving her daughter.

      Can you give us a characteristic for the protagonist? Something that hints at her arc is the usual suggestion – what is her biggest flaw?

      Where did her supernatural abilities come from? I feel like there’s a load of plot missing that I need to understand what’s going on. Fantasy and SciFi in particular often benefit from a bit of world building at the start of the logline. What, specifically, are these supernatural abilities and how are they going to help our protagonist achieve the goal?

      I’m also struggling to understand what the relationship between the corporate superpower and the daughter is. Surely, if this woman knows she has a daughter (she either birthed her or her partner did) then what difference does it make if the corporate superpower makes a claim that she doesn’t exist? She knows she exists. There’d be a birth certificate or pictures or whatever else that is undeniable proof. So what is the event that happens that throws that into question and puts her daughter at risk? That, to me, seems like the inciting incident.

      I agree with Mike and Variable… additional thoughts are:

      • A ‘widower’ is a man who lost his wife, but you’re referring to a woman? ?So she’d be a widow.
      • What does ‘battle’ mean in this context? ?Does she have to expose their shady dealings? ?Bring the company down? ?Find proof of her daughters existence?
      • Is her superpower linked to the daughter, the corporate entity, or neither?

      Regards
      Trix

      I’m intrigued. I’m wondering where the daughter is, if it’s possible to claim she doesn’t exist.

      I’m also slightly confused by the worldbuilding: superpowers AND supernatural abilities (i.e. superpowers)?

      Maybe ‘when her daughter goes missing, a grieving widow must take on a global conspiracy and control her own superpowers in order to get her daughter back’ — or similar. Inciting incident + character type + necessary action + ‘in order to achieve’ + goal.

      Sounds like a good story. I would go see this.

      The poor grammar makes it unclear what the plot is or even why a conflict exists. What does the suicide have to do with the corporation, or the corporation with the daughter, or the supernatural abilities with any of it, or any of it with any of it?

      Trim it down to the essentials and form a proper sentence. Keep it simple and clear. Then we can understand what it’s actually about.
