Well, that's not a logline, that's a (somewhat confusing) description of the premise. No agent is going to take a second look.

A log line or logline is a brief (usually one-sentence) summary of a
television program, film, or book that states the central conflict of
the story, often providing both a synopsis of the story's plot, and an
emotional "hook" to stimulate interest. (Wikipedia)

But all that aside. Paranormal-ish. Christian probably.

Also your comments indicate you don't really understand how the film industry works. I strongly suggest you start listening to podcasts by people like John August, and reading blogs like "The Bitter Script Reader" and "Go into the Story". Get yourself an education.

It's true that Hollywood takes on relatively few externally-sourced screenplays but the number is still in the hundreds per year. However the competition is so huge (50,000 scripts per year) your odds are very low. But they are made even lower by sending a query where you call that paragraph "a logline".

In the world of screenplays, just as in novel-writing, agents receive so many queries they use any excuse to reject. Newbie errors are a good choice because anyone who gets such fundamental things wrong probably hasn't written a good script.

They know this from experience. Of course, there is the faint possibility they might miss a good script. Chances are they won't.
