When the soul of Al Capone takes over a small Indiana town, an outcast teenager must team up with his bully to find a way to return Capone to his ethereal prison.

I realize a logline can't answer the questions I've have asked. Nor should it. ??Ideally, a logline ?should sell the plot, ?not raise questions about the credibility of the underlying premises.

But this one does raise questions about the credibility of the underlying premises.

Why is it up to the teen to lock him back up? ?Why can't god or the devil do their job?
If spiritual entities far more potent than a mortal teen couldn't keep Capone in the celestial cooler, what mojo does the teen have to succeed where god and satan have failed?

The fact that you all are asking so many questions gives me a good feeling. You all raise good questions, some answered by the story itself, some not (questions I hadn't thought of when working on the project; so thank you). So I ask this question...

How much needs to be covered by the logline itself? How many questions should be answered by the logline?

With that in mind, I'll attempt to rebuild and post an edited logline.
