Hell Break
I like this logline much better and at 44 words you are just fine.
A new and revised logline (possibly a few words too long):
When a lawyer and his wife die in a car crash and she is sent to heaven while he is doomed to spend eternity in hell, he is determined to do whatever it takes to get out of there and reunite with his wife.

Here's a new revised logline (that probably is a few words too long, but shows the new addition to the story):
When a lawyer and his wife dies in a car crash and she is sent to heaven while he ends up in hell, he is determined to do whatever it takes to get out of there and reunite with his wife.
