As Richiev said.? The industry standard is to compose the logline from the point of view of the protagonist.
And in this instance, "... a series of events...."? is general, uninformative.? We have no idea what the protagonist's objective goal becomes as a result of being manipulated. Indeed as currently framed, the main character is more puppet than protagonist, more acted upon than acting.? For better or worse, a protagonist must be proactive, not reactive, not responding to the actions and influences of others.
Consult? the "Our formula" link at the top of the web page for the guidelines for writing an industry standard logline.
