kjk11, your one-sentence logline is reasonable on the basis of what little the logline is specific about. But it's not quite true to the actual story (which is no fault of your own). Steven.

dpg, making the nature of the "enemy" ambiguous was partly a curiosity-triggering device, but also an attempt to side-step the complications of describing this enemy who are not straightforward to explain. Your point about making the stakes more personal to the protagonist is a good one, though there is the hint that he hopes to absolve a regret he has by performing the atonement mission. So, presumably, if nothing else, failing his mission will short circuit his intention to "wash" his sin. None the less, your key point of making the stakes personal and vivid remains valid. Steven.
