See lessAfter they were executed for their crimes, and instead of waking up in the afterlife, the eight found themselves on a ship that had anchored in the middle of the sea. The ship slipped into a whirlpool that took them to the shore of an island, where they saw horrors.
At this point, you have a premise but not yet a story. (At least by the logline) To turn the premise into a story, you need a lead character, with a goal, and something standing in the way of that goal. The premise sounds interesting. Now it just needs an equally compelling lead character.

The bass player for a famous band struggles to keep his friendship intact and meet the demands of the job as he slowly succumbs to addiction, he must find a way to help himself or risk losing his life and career.

One more thing. In most stories of this nature. A reasonably decent person enters the world of entertainment, goes to a party, and is offered drugs. Then one time becomes two, and two times becomes every day, then they are addicted and their life spirals out of control.
However, what isn’t always discussed is that some people are just shy, or have a fear of performing in front of a crowd. So they take a shot before they go on, or a pill. Then as the crowds get bigger, so does the amount of drinking and drugs. It isn’t them getting caught up in the party scene, it is how they cope with their fear of performing in front of an audience.
I have seen the first story many times, sometimes it is about a model or an actor who arrives in the big city innocent and then slowly is corrupted by drugs and alcohol.
