An inexperienced businessman is forced to choose between allowing his only investor to torture the startup's artificial intelligence product or hold to his ethics and risk losing the company.

Torture doesn't have to be physical.

You could switch to A.I product, making a bit more streamlined. Other than that, I like it. Curious to see what the product is

Intriguing - so mission 1 accomplished.

I think you could do better than an inexperienced businessman. Saying that because that probably isn't his barrier/challenge. Perhaps A financially strapped businessman ??? Also - is he more businessman or more inventor?

With his professional back to the wall, a desperate entrepreneur is forced to choose between allowing his only investor to abuse the startup's artificial intelligence product or hold to his ethics and risk losing the company.

A financially desperate entrepreneur is forced to choose between allowing his only investor to abuse the startup's AI brainchild or maintain his ethics and risk losing the company.

Thanks for the suggestions. I would surely incorporate some of the ideas, however I submitted the pilot last week. I  assure you, I will alter the logline for the next time I submit the pilot.

EDIT: The "inexperienced businessman" is exactly that. He has fallen ass-backward into running the startup. He does not have the experience or skill needed, but he does, thanks to the investor, have the money.

Alas, as I expected, my script has been rejected. Although I think the story is good and the hook is killer, I did write it from scratch in two weeks. Next year, after I've finished a script I'm writing now, I will revisit it as part of my plan to always have a series and a film prepared to send out (preferably more than one).

That was a quick turnaround from submission to answer, what did you submit it to if you don’t mind me asking?

It was quick, but I imagine it was a case of LIFO (last In, First Out). It could also be a case of the logline not clicking with the reader.

Edited LIFO because it's a slow morning for my brain.
