A "retrenched detective" -- what does that mean?

"...joins a cult in order to save his family..." ?-- save his family from what?

And it's not the cult that ?kidnaps his daughter -- it would be the cult leader who orders his followers to kidnap her. ?The logline should clearly ID the antagonist.

Why does the cult leader want to kill the daughter?

I don't understand what the motivation is for either the protagonist getting involved or the antagonist wanting to kill.

What Richiev suggested.

Your second logline option is better but lacks coherence - Richiev fixed it.
