When a charming conman targets a philanthropic heiress in a whirlwind romance, after a chance meeting in a Singapore hotel, a wedding is planned. Unaware one wedding guest shared a cell with the conman before he changed his identity seven years ago, sparks are set to fly. Interpol has been tracking the conman for twelve months, trying to identify the Mr. Big behind the conman. The bride unknowingly is about to blow their case wide open.
SYNOPSIS:
After criminal conman coincidentally meets heiress/philanthropist, his total focus is on marrying her before she wises up to his plot of money laundering millions of dollars through her foundation. Her school friend is a leading Australian researcher, too smart for the conman's liking. The researcher's brother years ago shared a prison cell with the conman before he changed his name. And he is one of the wedding guests. Is the con man smart enough to outwit his bride and the wedding guests, before he gets access to her philanthropic foundation? The clock is ticking.

Great logline, Robyn. The ticking clock element and the prison connection create strong suspense. It clearly sets up high stakes before the wedding day. I’d definitely be curious to see how the tension unfolds in the screenplay.

Robyn Henderson I like the core idea here...the setup has strong tension, especially with the wedding deadline and someone from his past showing up. That part really works.
I did feel like the synopsis is trying to pack in a lot at once, which makes it a bit harder to follow on the first read. Some of the details (like the prison connection and identities) are interesting, but they come in so quickly that they slightly blur the main conflict instead of sharpening it.
Maybe try simplifying the flow a bit...focus on the con man, the target, the immediate threat, and the ticking clock. Once that’s clear, the twists will land even stronger.
Overall, the concept is solid, it just needs a cleaner, more direct presentation to really hit.
Thanks for the feedback Emmanuel Jomy. At times I see my feature growing to a series - there are so many moving parts. I will take on board your suggestions.
