The logline sets up an interesting situation. ?But it still lacks a clearly defined objective goal. ?A logline should signal where the story is going (not, however, whether it gets there), IOW: a plot. ?The signal of where the story is going is conveyed by the objective goal.
How does the situation of getting into a tangle translate into a plot? ?As a result of the “tangle” what do they decide to do? ?What becomes their objective goal? ?Where is this story going?

Is that what he is deliberately trying to do? ?Or is it a consequence of the rivalry?
If it’s the latter, than it’s not an objective goal, because objective goals are intentional, what a character deliberately seeks to accomplish.
If it’s the fomer, then it’s negative and destructive — why would anyone root for a protagonist to do that?
In the movie “Black Swan” ?the protagonist is the ballerina, not the director. ?She has a positive?objective goal; that is, ?to master the starring role in “Swan Lake”.
The director is a domineering and manipulative character; he ?exploits the rivalry between the two dancers. ?Now it could be argued that he does so for a positive outcome: to get the best performance out of the lead ballerina.
But here’s the difference between the 2 characters: the director has nothing to overcome without or within to achieve his goal. ?The ballerina has everything to overcome without and within to be able to dance the role.
And that’s why the audience roots for the ballerina. ?That’s why she owns the story — and the logline: “After winning the lead in Swan Lake, a talented but emotionally vulnerable ballerina must compete against a rival and overcome her darkest fears to master the role.”
Who should the audience being rooting for in the situation outlined in your logline? ?Who has the most to overcome? ?Who must grow the most in order to rise above the rivalry?
And what is that character’s overarching objective goal?
