Camila Carrington, a grieving yet cunning young Latina, seeks to avenge her brother’s murder and dismantle the criminal empire that destroyed her family. But when a mysterious figure from her past returns with secrets that could unravel everything, Camila must navigate deadly alliances and reclaim power before she loses more than just her brother — she could lose her soul.
SYNOPSIS:
OVERTAKEN BY TEMPTATION
Season 1, Episode 1: “Buried Truths”
In the heart of Atlanta, where power, money, and secrets rule the streets, Camila Carrington, a once-promising law student, is forced to confront a world she thought she had escaped. After the sudden and brutal murder of her older brother Mateo, Camila is devastated—but her grief quickly hardens into a thirst for truth and vengeance. Determined and fearless, she returns to a past she buried long ago and steps into the criminal underworld he left behind.
As Camila digs deeper into the circumstances surrounding Mateo’s death, she uncovers more than just street rivalries and corrupt alliances—she finds betrayal within her own inner circle. Even more disturbing is the shocking revelation that the mastermind behind it all is a figure from her past, someone who knows her vulnerabilities, her strengths, and her secrets.
To survive and fight back, Camila adopts a ruthless alter ego known only as The Shadow, allowing her to move undetected through the chaos while plotting her rise. But the deeper she goes, the more blurred the line becomes between justice and revenge. With each choice, Camila risks becoming the very thing she swore to destroy.
As danger closes in and power seduces her, Camila faces a harrowing question: Will she control the darkness—or will she be overtaken by temptation?

The first part of the logline is fine, Shannon Wilkins, but I think the second part needs work.

Hey Shannon Wilkins, I like this idea a lot but I bumped a little on the second half as well. I think it might be a mix of the flow, and playing it a little too coy (which I do all the time when I'm working on loglines lol). Can I ask, how far into the script is she foiled and confronted with something worse? Is that in the first 30 or so pages or later on?
Maybe something like this, Shannon Wilkins: "After her brother is brutally murdered, a Latina hustler seeks vengeance by tracking down his killers and seizing control of the Atlanta drug ring while an unknown capturer pursues her."
I think the synopsis needs some work. It needs to flow smoother. In the sixth and ninth paragraphs, you mention that Camila's brother is killed. You also mention that Camila and Jasmine are long-time friends/best friends three times. In the eighth paragraph, it says Camila is killed, but she shows up later in the synopsis.
