A logline (aka elevator pitch) is a one or two line plot summary.
Work in progress
Rather than directly adapt The Rendezvous screenplay, an unpublished feature screenplay by Jason Carswell, after many years of not looking at my script or copious notes I'm going to first outline the story from memory to see what new gems may turn up before polishing.
