In addition to savinh0’s comment, what does she stand to lose if she fails? What are the stakes? What’s getting in her way? Who or what antagonistic forces are working against her?

A logline isn’t about mystery, it’s about providing a concise summary of the plot up to either the midpoint or end of Act II using (ideally) no more than 40 words phrased as a single sentence.
Hide the mystery and, as is frequently the case, it simply doesn’t make sense. Or you bury the hook. Either way, it massively damages your chances of your script being read by anyone. So, yeah, I might get the gist if I read it, but I’m not as likely to read it if I don’t know what I’m reading. The beauty of a logline is that it’s not supposed (in my opinion – two schools of thought here) to give away the ending. So there is still that mystery but it’s the curiosity over what happens to the hero. What it’s most definitely not, is mystery over what the plot is actually about.
