Logline review only at this point: Nefarious denotes these thieves are really bad people. Did you mean perhaps Notorious or Infamous? I would maybe add "In derelict/blighted Detroit" to the beginning and then add "and exploit" after "seize control".
yes it was meant to be Nefarious, the thieves are bad people, but they all have personal vendettas toward Vintus Global, the corporation taking over. Some characters want to asist in the new regime, others feel a connection with their community and regardless of being a bad person, still can do good by protecting and exposing the corporation for what they really are.. I like to show multiple sides to my characters, good and evil, just like people in real life.
Good to know. Thanks Jermaine!
