When a young ward of the state is fostered to a crazy family planning a heist, he sets out to find his real father before being forced to engage in criminal activities that will see him back in juvenile prison.
I would refocus the logline around the immediate and ?central objective problem that drives the story, the heist. ?The inciting incident is the foster kid's discovery of the plan. ? Is there a sense of urgency, a ticking clock, limited time to do something about it? ?And what?Why doesn't he just goRead more
I would refocus the logline around the immediate and ?central objective problem that drives the story, the heist. ?The inciting incident is the foster kid’s discovery of the plan. ? Is there a sense of urgency, a ticking clock, limited time to do something about it? ?And what?
Why doesn’t he just go to the cops, tip them off? ? Or simply run away, have himself get caught by the cops and be returned to the safety of the state ward, ?farmed out to someone else? ?I mean, there just seems to be so many other solutions to his problem of not being involved in the heist — and faster — than searching for his father.
And, if the foster parents are going to use him for the heist, wouldn’t they keep him under control, confine him to the premises? ? How is he going to be able to search for his father when they won’t let him out of their sight? ? And while it’s plausible he could stumble upon the heist, why would the foster parents trust him — an outsider to the family — to be a reliable accessory ?to their heist, even under coercion?
I think there’s a potentially good story here, but the concept needs polishing.

And I have no idea what the “gold” is in this story, what makes it special, what makes it different from 10,001 scripts floating around Hollyweird about hopeless romantics.
A logline ?should reveal, not conceal. ?It needs to be specific. ?Who are the main characters? ?What is their objective goal? ?Who opposes them? ?What’s at stake? ?What’s the hook, the plus factor that makes this story different and compelling from others of the same genre?
