When she starts being tormented by an evil force,? a business woman must seek help from her husband after he is committed to a psychiatric hospital for trying to open her third eye.
The protagonist should never be driven to an unwanted transformation. An audience will struggle to get behind a passive character who just lets things happen to her. PROtagonists must be PROactive.

The protagonist should never be driven to an unwanted transformation. An audience will struggle to get behind a passive character who just lets things happen to her. PROtagonists must be PROactive.
I can’t help but think that the husband’s story is way more interesting than the wife’s. He’s got an interesting history, a quest to find the Dead Sea scrolls, and a goal of using that to get his wife back. He is the one being proactive in the story, and in interesting ways. I feel like it’s a story about a man with a tragic history trying to win back the love of his life – just in a very desperate and terrifying way.
Could you start with him as the protagonist but at the midpoint you could flip the whole story and make her the protagonist? The lengths he goes to win her back start becoming increasingly violent and this sets up the wife’s goal of escape.

The first sentence is almost a solid logline on its own, but there isn't a real hook there -- at least not one that would get me excited.?

The first sentence is almost a solid logline on its own, but there isn’t a real hook there — at least not one that would get me excited.? The second sentence looks like it’s meant to add that hook in, and I appreciate that.? The main issue I have is that it’s not tied in with the first sentence, which is the main plot/story.? I think it’s not so necessary to describe the scientist as brilliant.? He’s dealing with revolutionary inventions, so we can assume that.? He’s also probably tortured, having a seriously ill wife that he desperately needs an invention for.? I’d try to replace those adjectives with something that relates, or maybe replaces the second sentence.? What is it about the scientist that make these mysterious people reach out to him?? Can you at least hint at that with a new adjective?? You might also get more room taking out “dangerous quest”.? Actually, I’m betting “dangerous quest” has something to do with that second sentence, since just trying to invent things isn’t inherently dangerous.? At least expanding on what this quest is all about might explain how the mysterious people tie in.
