A single, middle aged, Jr.High teacher that is addicted to Demerol, seeks redemption by trying to save an abused student from a father that happens to be her dealer.
GREAT log line...Very interesting. I just think it needs to be trimmed and a punch- something like: "A middle-aged teacher struggling with addiction, seeks redemption by saving one of her students from an abusive father...who turns out to be her dealer."

GREAT log line…Very interesting. I just think it needs to be trimmed and a punch- something like:
“A middle-aged teacher struggling with addiction, seeks redemption by saving one of her students from an abusive father…who turns out to be her dealer.”
I cut out “Jr. High” and “single” because what kind of school isn’t dramatic and most people are single…that’s not dramatic either. Middle aged isn’t exciting but it’s different- so we stayed with that.
That the father is her dealer IS dramatic so I used the old “…” before revealing it to the reader of the log line.
We don’t need to know the type of drug at this point. It’s better the reader imagines what it is (I would imagine it’s heroine).
ALSO: If the teacher is DIVORCED that IS dramatic so, I would change it to:
“A divorced teacher struggling with addiction, seeks redemption by saving one of her students from an abusive father…who turns out to be her dealer.”

I don’t even know if that is true- but I got the feeling that is kinda what happens.
Removed the part about the mental powers because it felt like trying to squeeze too much into one line. I guess you could go with:
“A bounty hunter holds a bar of patrons hostage in order to trap a fugitive but when a super powered killer from an alternate dimension shows up instead- the hunter becomes the hunted.”
