When a narcissistic property developer is convicted for murdering a government official, he must untangle the web of deceit, to prove his innocence

The original version is better, but the issues are there.
The word count means that you must choose the most valueable words, give the best details, the most useful details to give a picture of the whole story.

Thanks Sumi

Although there are many good comments about the original,? just my 2 cents worth...? the original logline reads better than the revised version.
