Or maybe something like this ...

Plagued by visions of her mothers death, a teen girl's traumatic brain injury brings the past into the present where she must deal with the ultimate reality.

... or ...

A teen girl's traumatic brain injury forces the past into the present where her ultimate reality must be dealt with.

There's a certain awkwardness with the "the ultimate reality" phrase, but I don't have a better replacement.

I liked the first one. The second one didn't sound at all like the first one.

Ok, I went over my logline, and went through some posts and decided to try something different. Bear with me if you will heheh

Trauma is a cautionary tale of "be careful what you wish for," following a troubled teenager longing to be reunited with her mother after a fatal car accident took her life. Alone and on the streets, she must learn to control the visions which plague her, causing her to live half in the past, and half in reality. So will love ultimately save her, or will it condemn her to the ultimate reality?

hmm I don't know which one works better...
is it ok to use italics in loglines?

who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat
 up smoking in the supernatural darkness of
cold-water flats floating across the tops of cities contemplating jazz..." -Allen Ginsberg   "Howl"

Note, this is my first attempt ever at a logline, so be gentle heheh

When a troubled teenage girl is plagued by visions of her mothers death, a traumatic brain injury brings the past into the present, where she must deal with the ultimate reality. Or is it reality at all?
