A broken man learns of the time a famous thief will break into his home and auctions off the experience of a legal killing, secretly hoping it will be him waiting inside the right open window.

A BAD COLD

The coroner is given no instructions on what to do with Christopher’s mother’s body. Three years taking care of her after a six month life expectancy has unknowingly taken him away from his sanity.

He’s left in crippling debt with no way out until he learns of the day and time a thief will rob his home, leading him to auction off the experience of a legal killing to his old friends.

The Thief arrives at an old house draped in moonlight with all its windows and doors open. Its occupants spread out in the shadows, wielding their weapon of choice.

Thanks Odie. I've actually finished the script. Are you on Stage 32? I've got them available to download from my profile there. Only just found this logline site.

Interesting premise, leaning towards:
“A dejected man turns to the dark web in order to auction the chance to help kill a thief when uncovering his home is being invaded”

Took some liberties with auction plausibility via the dark web – you get the idea.

Make this yours, keep going!
