After an outbound insurance sales call ends in a supernatural plea for help from a terrified mother, a geeky telemarketer who can locate anything must overcome the trauma his ability once caused him in order to save a kidnapped girl.

Biltrex,

For your consideration: a metaphor for discussing your logline in terms of its "nucleus" -- core concept.

Using Scott Myers' illuminating metaphor, it seems to me I've been going around and around and around the outer shell of the atom of your story. What I don't understand is the nucleus, the core concept. Distilled to a few words, what do you consider to be the core concept, the nucleus, around which your plot, your logline, revolves?

Possible Title: Sight Unseen

He has this gift, yes. He doesn't know if anyone else does (and it doesn't come up in the script) In this script that is the only thing that departs from the normal rules. (Though I'm considering pitching this as a pilot to a series, in which case almost certainly he'll come across someone else that is... gifted in some different way).

So, he has some kind of psychic gift? Is this a story where characters and/or situations depart from the normal rules of physics, chemistry, cognition that pertain to the world as we know it?

Hmm... well, to explain: In the script he hears two overlapping conversations over the phone from the same woman: One that's really happening at that moment and one that's kind of like eavesdropping on a panicked phone call she's going to make to the police later that day, reporting her daughter missing and probably kidnapped. The "supernatural" call he can tell is different, it's echo-y and distant, it doesn't respond to his questions (like the present-moment call does) but also the stronger of the two voices he hears.

This particular thing has never happened to him before, but he can feel something that he hasn't felt since the first (and last) time he used this "ability" for someone else. Which ended badly for him.

So, how much of this detail does the logline need to try to encode?

Okay, your logline is becoming more clear and more muddy at the same time.

How does the character know it's a supernatural plea? It's a phone, he can't see what's on the other side of the line, if there is a plea for help how does he know it's supernatural?

You are going to have to define "Supernatural Phone call" not sure what that means.
