Hey Andrew! Thanks for the comment … let me try to explain my thought process and hopefully you can address those areas that are off target.

(1) I feel like I can’t reveal too much in the logline, otherwise, it will feel on the nose and leave nothing to the imagination.

(2) The three “risks” are tied to each character, respectively. That is, estranged wife (career), high school crush (love), and obsessed cat owner (sanity).

Here’s my brief synopsis to help shed some light on the plot points: a pet psychiatrist (Luke) loses his wife (Talia) to his best/richest client (Jon). Jon continues to be his client and offers to pay off Luke with a large sum of money IF and ONLY IF Luke does not contest the divorce, which is happening in two weeks. The money will definitely help Luke’s practice, but feels conflicted – can he be bought out (love)? And if he doesn’t go through with the divorce, not only will he lose the money, but the client has vowed to destroy his practice (career). Meanwhile, Luke runs into his high school crush (Laura), which adds more conflict to the love storyline. And then there’s the obsessed cat owner (Suzie) – a young, hot little thing! She throws a wrench in the works as Luke navigates through the waters to keep his career/practice afloat AND decide on the best path to true love (sanity).

I hope this helps give you enough background. Knowing these high level components, do you think my revised logline mirrors the intentions? Or is there a better way to shape the logline?

Thank you again for your help!
