I'm not sure you understand what a logline is.

The whole goal of a logline (or whatever you want to call it, but the rest of us are calling it a logline) is to communicate #1 what the movie is about and #2 what kind of movie it is.

Here are a couple I've just made up on the spot for existing movies:

"A volcano erupts in the middle of Los Angeles, forcing the residents to find ways to survive."

Okay, so it's about a volcano erupting in a city, and it's probably not a comedy or a quiet character drama, and you probably have a general idea of what kind of movie it'd make.

"A lawyer used to playing fast and loose with the truth with everyone in his life finds himself, for only one day, unable to tell a single lie."

A bit of a fantastic conceit there, and the use of "fast and loose" suggests a light tone, so a comedy. A very high-concept one.

What I don't think anyone's ever suggested is that a logline should take the form of a book report.

"A man faces an early mid-life crisis. He quits his job and begins to work out and has sexual fantasies about his daughter's high-school friend. At the same time, his wife is dealing with her own frustrations in her career in life, and their daughter begins exploring a burgeoning romance with the weird kid who moved in next door. The weird kid's dad is an ex-military man who is also dealing with his own issues and a nearly catatonic wife. Also there are two gay neighbors. It all leads to a quite unexpected ending and a message about valuing what you have in life when you have it."

Definitely not a "teaser". But in saying more it actually tells me - and interests me - less. It's called a logline for a reason.

"A suburban father takes control of his autopilot life leading to the opening of eyes, opportunities, bedroom windows, and roses."

Not saying it's brilliant, but it's better. You still get a sense of the whimsical nature, the setting, and the character, and you get it in one sentence that hopefully makes you curious about the script.
