I’ve just done some digging and it seems multi-strand narratives don’t often have dramatic or exciting loglines. Films like ‘Pulp Fiction’ and ‘Star Wars’ have been offered as examples.

Right now, there’s quite a few variations to choose from so I think the best thing for me to do is to step back for a few days and then take a fresh look and decide which one is best suited for purpose.

Guys, many thanks and much appreciation for all the comments. There’s no way I could have explored so many different approaches working in isolation.

Thanks gilgamesh, I totally agree with you – it needs to include both situations – the plight of the gang and the conflict between the woman and the priest. I would also add that it’s important that the gang is seen as the main character because in the script they all get roughly the same amount of attention.

“Members of a notorious robbery gang facing imminent execution re-evaluate their lives in search of redemption as a devout priest offers last rites and confession. The priest and the gang’s charismatic leader must also come to terms with their shared past as childhood sweethearts.”
