Obsessed with causality, a mathematician creates future simulation software only for it to predict he’ll die in three days unless he is prepared to kill a complete stranger, who is somehow connected to his fate, but instead he begins falling for her
"Funnily enough, I have toyed with the idea that this is a device or application that was widely accessible. I thought it would be interesting if we could see the implications to our choices before we make them.

That, right there sounds like an excellent idea for a sequel. Maybe in this story it’s right after the family creates the app, and then it is either stolen or someone else in the family releases it to the public for the sequel. Either way, with the proper conflict this could be a great story.

I haven’t seen this but from what it sounds like this is the motivation. He wants to improve himself. The action , the goal described for a logline would be getting the girl to the safe haven. But, yes, as someone who hasn’t seen this ‘escort’ does not at all hint at a sense of danger that they may face.

“A mother has three days to find and kill a total stranger identified by an uncannily accurate future simulation app as?triggering a chain of events that will inevitably kill her infant.”
I like this. The character is not killing just to save herself. She is killing to save her child. Something most people would do. Especially a mother.
Though, to cut down some words here’s my go:?When an uncannily accurate prediction app shows that her newborn will die in three days, a woman must kill the stranger who?triggers the chain of events which kills?her child.?(~31 words)
Or, more similar in structure to dpg’s:?A mother has three days to kill a stranger who is identified by an uncannily accurate prediction app to trigger the chain of events which kills her newborn.?(~28 words)
The title also has a nice ring to it. Actually, this version suggests that the character and the family has nothing to do with the creation of the software, that it’s just an app anyone can download. I think that would be an interesting idea to include in a story: How the world reacts when they can learn their future. Or, having more to do with destiny, if one is truly makes their own future.
