As FFF said. ?Loglines are about the plot. ?And the plot is what the protagonist has to face NOW.
The events in the present dredging up issues from the past pertain to subjective, character-arc issues. Which is okay for the story as a whole, but loglines focus on objective issues — what the character must do NOW — not subjective issues rooted in the past.
So, given the situation, what must the young man do NOW, in the present? ?What becomes his objective goal?
