THE ROAD THROUGH SALVATION

THE ROAD THROUGH SALVATION
By Sean Wealleans

GENRE: Thriller / Suspense, Horror
LOGLINE: In a shattered America, ruled by ruthlessness and haunted by the cruel and the desperate, a scarred loner aids a guilt-ridden boy whose first kill sparked his families massacre, on a perilous hunt entwined with secrets, to save his sister from war-forged predators before she’s lost to the wasteland forever.

SYNOPSIS:

In a world torn apart by collapse, survival is not just about food and water—it’s about keeping hold of your humanity. When a ruthless government turns on its people, letting loose The Wardens - enforcers turned executioners, a young girl, Alice Carter, loses everything in one horrific night of fire and blood. Alice is thrust alone into a wasteland of fear, brutality, and fractured hope. Five years later, Alice is no longer a child—she is a scarred, hardened survivor who has learned to kill as easily as she once laughed. Parallel to her story is Cash Lacroix, a young man burdened by guilt and loss, part of a broken band of survivors. Their paths collide against the backdrop of a lawless America, where the remnants of humanity fight for scraps while predators thrive. When Cash's family and companions are massacred, his young sister Mollie kidnapped, he sets out on a near hopeless mission to save her and take revenge. As Alice and Cash’s stories intertwine, both are forced to confront not just enemies outside, but the darkness that survival breeds within. Their journey will see them cross Cannibals, War Lords and the depths of human depravity left unfettered. The Road Through Salvation is a brutal, emotionally charged survival thriller in the spirit of The Last of Us, Children of Men, and The Road. It blends heart-pounding action with intimate human drama, asking: What do we become when the world strips away everything? And how far will we go to save those we love? Raw, haunting, and unflinching, this is not just a tale of survival—it’s a story of resilience, sacrifice, and the fragile hope that even in the ashes of civilization, redemption might still be possible.

THE ROAD THROUGH SALVATION is an interesting concept, and the title is catchy, Sean Wealleans.

I think the first part of your logline is strong, but I suggest taking out "in one brutal night." It'll make the logline shorter, and I don't think that adds anything to the logline. I think the synopsis is a better place for it.

I suggest changing “are drawn together on a violent journey through loss, loyalty, and redemption” to their goal and the stakes.

where saving others may cost them what’s left of their humanity.” I suggest telling how they save others if it doesn't make your logline too long.
