When he learns his wife is planning to kill him, a rich man invites her secret lovers to a dinner party, and offers them each a fortune to kill her first.
Thanks for the replies everyone. DPG - Agreed. I think I need to outline perhaps. The key thing with this concept is to do a contained thriller - something in the style of ROPE and SLEUTH.

After he learns his unfaithful wife intends to kill him, a wealthy man offers a million dollars to her lover to kill her first. – this could work. Thank you. It would certainly keep things simple for the logline as I think perhaps the other characters turning up later on – would be a twist. We’ll see.
Your suggestions are interesting because I did loglines for each character to figure out who was the more pivotal character. Certainly it’s the kind of thing filled with a lot of mystery and a lot of twists.
My pivotal character was one of the lovers who has literally stumbled into this mess with the husband, the boyfriend/lover, a hitman/lover. He’s new to the club. He’s a drifter who needs the money.
Scott Danzig – all very good ideas. Certainly – the characters need to be different and have different agendas. I did consider AGENDA as a working title (a bit too on the nose.) The woman/femme fatale is very much using all of them (that much I know.) I want it to be the kind of thriller where the power dynamic is always changing.
YaelEinstein – Lets see. The husband knows about the lovers. The pivotal character/our protagonist has walked into this spider’s web – he’s new to the club. The femme fatale is using all of them – whether with sex, money, love, etc. She oscillates between victim to predator and back again. The conflict here is over who to trust and who’s working with who.
I need to outline.
Thanks everyone.

Intention: raise six year old son. (This is interesting. One of the few times I think you could go in with a subjective/emotional through-line because the hook is strong enough.)

Intention: raise six year old son. (This is interesting. One of the few times I think you could go in with a subjective/emotional through-line because the hook is strong enough.)
Obstacle: guiding a nation.
When he is put in isolation following a deadly pandemic, the president must raise his estranged six-year-old son, all whilst guiding a nation in strife.
– I used “estranged” instead of “tumultuous” (which perhaps would work better?)
See less– Should be innate that he’s raising his son by himself.
– The concept is certainly unique and familiar.

Hi Awesomemovies123,
A lot to take in. I’ll give this a go.
When a successful entomologist and his father, an army reserve, are humiliated by the public because of a new insect display that goes wrong, he must gain respect back for his family while saving his captive father from the greedy military, and uncover the secrets behind the mysterious weaponised insect before humans become the endangered species.
Intention: gain back respect from his family while saving his captive father from the military, and uncover the secrets behind the mysterious weaponised insect before humans become the endangered species. (That’s a mouthful. I’d suggest to go with one strong, clear intention. Make sure it’s an action goal as opposed to emotional goal.)
Obstacle: ?
When looking for his missing father, an entomologist uncovers a secret government project, and must thwart it, before humans become the endangered species.
