A troubled man who was kept in a zombie like state for a number of years begins to regain his independance, but as he discovers, freedom is more than just his state of mind.

>>his quest for freedom requires more than his state of mind.

So what is he going to do? What's his game plan, his objective goal?

thanks for the input. I have had a jig around, but was wondering whether mentioning my antagonist first confuses who my story is about.

The sinister ambitions of a military scientist kept a man in a zombie like state. But as he begins to regain his independence, he discovers that his quest for freedom requires more than his state of mind.

Thanks

Right now it's too vague. For example, what was keeping him in a zombielike state? Also, 'stuff like "number of years" don't matter - they're a waste of priceless logline real estate.

Does your lead character have a goal? That might be a good starting point for your logline.

Hi Lewis - there's something interesting in there... the key problem is lack of specifics I think. When you say troubled, do you mean he had a mental illness? is that why he was kept in a zombie like state?
I'm not entirely clear on what is at stake, what his goal is and what his obstacle is. I do think its all in there conceptually but it's more inside your head that in the logline itself as written above.
