With the unwanted help of a little girl in his building, a reclusive retired man with OCD tries to figure out which one of his neighbors keeps dropping cigarette butts onto the patio of his New York city apartment.

This is great!

I like it too... I like also what thorwitfar did with the edits.

Cutting, try something along these lines...

I got it to 32, Great concept man!

Thanks! I'll work on cutting it down to size. Glad you like the idea!

It's a bit wordy (40 words; target should be between 25-30), but I find the concept to be very compelling and downright funny. I can picture much of it in my head, which is EXACTLY what a good logline should ultimately accomplish. I love it (just excise some of the extraneous).
