After his pregnant wife’s cancer medication gets pulled from the public health system, a hot-headed Aboriginal amateur boxer must steal enough to keep her alive until the birth.

do you need hot-headed and aboriginal? ?it reads very overly descriptive when the central drive is nice and clear. ?This is an interesting concept to me if it was said more plainly. ?Hero has a good call to action and big stakes.

My view of indicating a character flaw in a logline is that it should be related to the objective goal such that it creates anxiety and uncertainty as to whether he will achieve the goal. ?If being hot-headed increases the risk of his getting caught stealing the drug, okay.

I also thought of inserting the word "indigent" to indicate he's not just poor, he's broke.

I was thinking it would be easier to steal the money to buy the drug than to steal the drug. ?But if you've figured out how he could steal it from a pharmacy, again and again, okay.

Maybe something like:
When his pregnant wife's cancer medication is no longer free, an indigent, hot-headed Aboriginal resorts to stealing the drug to keep her alive long enough to deliver their baby.
