after a bizarre experience in his lawn, a know-it-all businessman seeks out the-indian-guru-next-door to-instead-find himself in the drug business with a hippie
The concept is confusing. A few questions that come to mind are: Mid-life crisis or not, why would a "...top gun..." business man change his business if he is already successful? I assume "...top gun..." means very good, perhaps best to change the description to something more relevant like 'a sharkRead more

Since it’s set in the US, a marijuana business would be legal in most states – why would the DEA take issue with him?
What does a media firm have to do with drug enforcement?
Other than the logic flaws, what is his major problem? Is it the DEA? The media firm? A decline in business? What is his goal?
As a logline’s primary function is to describe a plot, it needs a main character, an inciting incident and a goal – something you can’t have a strong plot without. It seems as though most of your concepts suffer from similar issues, I strongly suggest you read through other posts or the ‘Formula’ tab on the top bar for a more detailed explanation.

What DPG said. What would you say is the very first thing that happens to him, or his heritage, that motivates him to take action? At the same time, what is the one most important objective he has to? achieve before the end of the story?

Agreed with Richiev. It took me some time to understand the premise as well (this is telling...) and it would seem that further explanations are needed for the logic to come through - best to make some significant changes to the concept so this isn't the case.

The whole taking a bullet and grieving widow aspects are confusing the point. The event that starts her on her journey is the husband’s murder, therefore the logline should start with:
After her husband is murdered…
Then the action she takes is to hunt down the killer, so:
After her husband is murdered, a [good description MC] must hunt down the killer to save her own life.
As it stands now, the MC description is very generic and therefore I don’t know what kind of person she is or what ability she has to survive/catch/figure out who the killer is.
