Faith and basketball inspire an abandoned boy to set three improbable goals both on and off the hardwood with surprising results.

BTW:? In various iterations, you’ve characterized your protagonist as earnestly religious.? But I don’t get a sense (yet) in the loglines how that plays out in terms of conflict not only between his mother but also the pressure placed upon him to compromise his values while playing in a fiercely competitive sport.? And to compromise under peer pressure (He’s at the age when he’s most vulnerable to? temptations and inducements to conform, to compromise, to go along in order to get along, be accepted? by others, especially the In Group.)?
Seems to me those values should be under attack from all quarters of his life.
Just saying.
See lessWhen a high priced gigolo moonlights as a pornstar, his sexual depravities reach extreme heights, and he is forced to decide how much of his soul he will sell for money, fame and the love that will never fulfil him.
Hmm.? Hasn' t he already sold out his soul merely by being a gigolo?? So wouldn't being a porn star be only a matter of degree?And anyway, loglines are not about "being forced to decide".?

Hmm.? Hasn’ t he already sold out his soul merely by being a gigolo?? So wouldn’t being a porn star be only a matter of degree?
And anyway, loglines are not about “being forced to decide”.? Loglines are about the decision made, the action and consequences that follow.? What is his objective goal?
BTW: hetero male porn stars have always been paid (on average) less than female stars.? It’s the one entertainment industry where women dominate (if not in role playing).? And as with other entertainment businesses, the rise of the Internet has been disruptive; the glut of internet porn , particularly the competition from amateur porn, has driven down profit margins for producers and salaries for the pros.
So perhaps it might be interesting to flip the setup such that he’s a porn star who has to do gigolo gigs because he can no longer earn a living as a porn pro.? Or he can’t earn enough to enjoy the lifestyle he aspires to, to keep paying the mortgage and the child support as a result of his one or two or three failed but fertile marriages or relationships.
Whatever. I think there might be an updated story of? “Boogey Nights”– set in the age of the internet.
fwiw

Well, of course, the results will be surprising.? That’s not a story hook, that’s? SOP in every good story,? the gap between what a character expects to happen and what actually happens.? The story hook is in what is unusual, unique about what happens.? Which this logline leaves us clueless.? Again: we need specifics.
