One of the fundamental problems with this concept is that the inciting incident happens to the father and not the main character. When she finds out that he witnessed a murder nothing major happens to her and it doesn't directly impact her life. Therefore, I think that her resulting action seems poorly motivated as it lacks a cause and effect relationship with what preceded it.
I see that you have already rewritten several versions of the concept already. May I ask, what is the part that moves you most?
Is it the fact that the daughter has to get over her resentment/issues with her father in order to save him? (Check out Indiana Jones and the Holy Grail, for a similar inner journey, by the way.)
Or what is it?
At the moment, it feels as if there are a few irrelevant elements forced into the logline, which do not necessarily make a dramatic cocktail.
I suggest you take a breath and see what moves you. This will determine what you can build on.
And what is the scale of his amnesia?? Episodic,-- he can't remember the murder?? Or chronic, the memory of his whole life previous to the murder has been wiped out -- he can't even remember her?
And why must he be a country singer?? Why is that the defininng characteristic of his character?
Again I get the feel of a situation and two characters in search of a plot.? What's the itch you're trying to scratch, the theme you want to explore?
fwiw
