In search of the ‘ultimate high’, a gang of high school misfits skip school set on finding an abandoned cannabis crop all while trying to evade a pair of obsessive truant officers.
Why would anyone abandon such a lucrative cash crop?And I? would think that the a more interesting dramatic problem and more interesting characters for the misfits to contend with would be the owners of the property.?

Why would anyone abandon such a lucrative cash crop?
And I? would think that the a more interesting dramatic problem and more interesting characters for the misfits to contend with would be the owners of the property.?

A logline pitches a film or series to the movie makers, not the movie viewers.? They’re the ones you’re trying to invest millions of dollars and years of their precious time in your project.? Even if you withhold it from the audience for the 1st season, the producers may want to know in order to determine if the series has “legs”.? Just saying.
And if everyone who knows about the key is killed, that needs to be in the logline;? that’s the story hook for the 1st season:? everyone who knows about or came into possession of the key is killed.? He’s next.? Which raises the dramatic question: Why?
