After abandoning adoptive grandparents who later do not survive a crime he feels he instigated, a Texas senior must defeat hometown demons that follow him on his journey to find a place he can safely call home.

My point is that a logline should frame the action in terms of what the character is running toward — not running away from. ?What he wants to achieve and/or get — aka: ?his Biggest Dream. ?Not the Biggest Nightmare he’s fleeing from.
Nurse Betty runs toward her Biggest Dream. ?It’s a foolish dream, a delusion, but in the context of the film, it’s her Biggest Dream, the objective goal she wants more than anything else and is willing to do anything, to risk all to get.
What is your character’s Biggest Dream? ?In the context of the film, what does he want to achieve more than anything else? ?What is he willing to risk all to get?

>>>must defeat hometown demons
How literally is this to be taken? ?Is he being followed by the person who murdered his grandparents? ? Or is he being pursued by his own feelings of guilt?
Whatever, the logline seems to be about a character driving the vehicle of the plot by constantly looking in the rear view mirror –by looking backwards to the past. ?Or fixing his attention on instrument panel of his feelings — rather than fixing his eyes ahead on the road to reach a postiive, specific objective.
Likewise, a ?logline should always have its eyes on the road looking forward, looking toward, focused on a specific destination — not back to the past, or inward to some subjective problem.
Where is this character going? ?IOW: what is his specific, objective goal?
