When a cynical surgeon renounces his ancestral ties with a cabalistic tradition, he becomes the target of a dark force and must battle a phantasmagorical creature unleashed by the dark force to destroy him and everything he holds dear.

I'm guessing there is a link between his past and present,?but I don't see it.

Specifically, what is the causal relationship between his renunciation of his ancestral tradition and the other elements in the logline, being mysteriously locked out, the savage creature?

If?that renunciation is?back story rather than a causal, inciting incident,, it serves no purpose in the logline and can probably?be deleted.
