When her husband dies, Jenny must block the unbearable pain of losing the man she loved with increasingly risky sexual adventures with a womanizer she hates.
Thank Richiev, the "or else" piece of the logline is missing. I think dpg's suggestion of "or else commit suicide" is a very workable answer. I am challenging myself to try for a little different answer but not sure it will work. The "or else" I am trying for is she has to block the pain of her husbRead more

I am challenging myself to try for a little different answer but not sure it will work. The “or else” I am trying for is she has to block the pain of her husband’s death or else risk destroying his memory. Jenny is in shock at her husband’s unexpected death and prepares for the funeral in a daze. She appears to be handling the funeral arrangements well, including delivering the eulogy herself, but is actually in shock and denial. The reality of the funeral finally pulls her out of denial and the pain is overwhelming. She is angry he’s gone and afraid she is going to vent that anger in front of their friends and family at the funeral. She needs some kind of human connection, any connection, to counter the fear and loneliness that is bubbling up at exactly the wrong moment. And in walks John.

Dear dpg,
I agree, the psychology is really tricky. How can this woman say she loves her husband and then have sex with someone she supposedly hates on the day of his funeral? That is the inciting incident. I think I’m taking big risks in terms of empathy with this character, and enjoying the challenge. Elizabethban has some fantastic alternate ideas that would work well. I’m going to continue to explore my original idea for a bit longer but am prepared for it to possibly fall flat.
