Unable to pay his comatose wife?s hospital bills, a brilliant psychiatrist is forced to take on an unusual patient: an organic supercomputer running mining operations on an asteroid. Will he be able to repair the computer before it crashes the asteroid into the earth?
It's Good Will Hunting in space! There's a setup on earth but the bulk of the action takes place on the asteroid. Genrewise, I'd probably say it's a sci-fi thriller, but I'm never entirely certain with genre.

I didn't made it clear in the logline, but whilst the hospital bills motivate him to take the job on the asteroid (unaware of the computer's homicidal intentions), they aren't really a prime motivator after that.

The irony of the situation with his wife is very important to the story but I think I’ll take her out of the logline to simplify things.
Maybe the logline should be:

This is what I first took from the logline. When he's dumped for a dull Scottish accountant, an unhinged Brazilian must fix his anger issues in order to win the love of his life back.

This is what I first took from the logline.
When he’s dumped for a dull Scottish accountant, an unhinged Brazilian must fix his anger issues in order to win the love of his life back.
I reread it and got this –
When his fiancee’s unhinged Brazilian ex turns up out of the blue, an accountant must muster his family and friends to fight him off and hang on to his true love.
In all seriousness, I think the nationalities are a bit irrelevant, along with the fact that the antagonist is debonair, wealthy and impatient.
See lessAs others have said, I think you need to make it clear that the accountant is the protagonist.
Also, are the couple right at the start of the relationship? Engaged? Married?
Does the woman still have feelings for the Brazilian?
Where does the story take place? Are they at home in Scotland or on holiday in the Amazon rainforest?
