A doctor is forced to relive his traumatic childhood in order to solve the mystery that may save his daughter's life.
This is too vague and there's a disconnect with the two halves of the logline. How does reliving his traumatic childhood save his daughter's life? I think you have to hint at why his daughter's life is in danger.
