>>>A down-and-out former rodeo queen is set to inherit her father?s lucrative cattle farm, but must employ?her ex-con?older brother?as part of the deal.
1] ?Is that legally possible?
2] If it’s a lucrative operation and he’s an ex-con , why doesn’t he just contest the will so he can get his share rather than be cut out and reduced to a mere employee?

Yeah, I know, I know. ?The logline doesn’t single out a protagonist. ?I’ve never seen it, so I’m guessing that it’s primarily an ensemble piece. ?The ?plot is not about the struggle of one particular individual to survive, but the struggle of any one to survive.
And the hook of the story is the nature of the alien and the particular predicament it poses for the humans. ?That is, in order to survive the cast of characters must figure out who is human and who is an alien in disguise.

What is that objective goal? What is that course of action? ?What is the plot that follows?
(And to clarify: ?does “corpses that murdered” refer to the culprits? ?Or is it a typo and it should refer to the victims?)
