When an out of work teacher is given a deadline by a loan shark, he contracts a hit-man on himself so his family can collect on his life insurance. However after he befriends the hit-man they decide to fake his death instead.
I also think you don't need "so her family can get the insurance money" in the logline. That is not essential to the dramatics of the story. She is faking her death so she can escape death, that is reason and explanation enough.

This is aiming to be a high concept logline so I’m not trying to ram in the usual stuff. It’s a first attempt at one, anyway.
My idea was inspired by a string of news reports in the US about problems within the officer ranks at these silos. If you’re curious you can google them or have a look at this VERY funny and FRIGHTENING piece that was on ‘Last Week Tonight with John Oliver’
Yes, I want this to be a contained thriller sci-fi. It all pretty much happens in the missile silo. He gets his news about the big picture through Youtube or something like that.
I imagine him meeting a girl at a bar in the beginning, lonely hearts kind of thing, maybe a strip joint. The alien attack happens, she runs to the silo asking for shelter. He lets her in but unknowingly lets in one of the aliens in too perhaps. There is another guy in the silo with him but there is no need to mention him in the logline. Maybe there are few officers, guys and girls. I kinda picture it like Aliens, but on Earth, in a missile silo. a bit of Das Boot atmosphere also.
In my yet-to-be-fully-outlined idea, I’m picturing the kind of sci-fi type scenario where the ‘mother’ alien has wrapped herself around the Capitol building. If the hero nukes her, all the aliens die, hence the targeting of DC. And yes, I figured people would kinda get a kick out of that lol.
Anyway, early days. Thanks again!
