My synopsis.  I know it's rough.  Help please.  lol

"Nightmares and migraines have plagued Shekinah her whole life, a side effect of the “condition” that prevents her from being able to feel any emotion.  And it’s this same condition that is the reason she is so good at being a spy.  Raised by Third Enterprises and trained in the art of espionage her whole life, it’s the only one she knows.  When their biggest competitor, Trinity Corporations, buys out the company, Shekinah knows that only mitigating circumstances would have sparked such a drastic move.  She and her two partners, Deck K. and Stevven Dougal, receive instructions to stop TriCor agent Donald Faide from stealing information from their back up computers.

Too late to stop the theft, Shekinah and her team follow Faide.  They switch the information and continue to TriCor’s London base under the guise of reporting for their new jobs.  Shekinah escorts Faide to Sweden where they hope to recover a device that will lead them to its creator Alan Digget.

With Agent Faide’s help, Shekinah recovers the device.  It leads them to Russia where Alan Digget has been hiding out for years and he seems to know more than TriCor would like.  Shekinah and her team whisk Digget off to a safehouse.  Unwilling to be outdone once again, Faide tracks them using a reactivated device that has been dormant in Stevven for years.  He kidnaps Digget and takes him to TriCor.

Shekinah sneaks into TriCor and forces Faide to take her to Digget.  They find that Digget has been beaten so badly that his face is almost unrecognizable.  Faide helps them escape and Shekinah and Digget meet up with Stevven and Deck, but she can’t shake the feeling that something bad is very close.  She slips away to a small chapel to pray, not knowing that Faide has followed her.  A tornado of light breaks through the chapel ceiling and engulfs Shekinah.  At first there’s pain, but it doesn’t last long.  As the light fades, she’s left on the floor exhausted, but when Faide finds her there’s something different about her and she smiles, something she’s never been able to do.

Outside the chapel, and all over London, shadow creatures appear in the sky like the door to another world has opened.  When they learn that TriCor has taken Third’s former agents hostage, Faide helps Shekinah get back inside to rescue her people, but they are led into a trap and both captured.  While Faide finds a way to alert Deck and Stevven to Shekinah’s danger, Shekinah is being tested and tortured because of this amazing power they claim she possesses.  Shekinah releases her power and escapes, but not before Deck is shot and killed.

Faide helps Shekinah from the building.  With her new found emotions, it’s hard for her to focus and handle the death of her friend. When they send a team back in, Deck’s body is gone.  Faide promises to find out what’s happened to TriCor in exchange for asylum within Third’s rebuilding ranks."

Nightmares and migraines have plagued Shekinah SHEKINAH (first time you introduce a character, put the name in all caps) her whole life, a side effect of the “condition” that prevents her from being able to feel any emotion. And it’s this same condition that is the reason she is so good at being a spy. Raised by Third Enterprises and trained in the art of espionage her whole life, it’s the only one she knows.  When their biggest competitor, Trinity Corporations (TriCor), buys out the company, Shekinah knows that only mitigating circumstances would have sparked such a drastic move. She and her two partners, Deck K. and Stevven Dougal, (try to keep the names to a minimum, 3-4 tops, to prevent confusion) receive instructions (from?) to stop TriCor agent Donald Faide DONALD FAIDE from stealing information from their back-up computers.

Too late to stop the theft, Shekinah and her team follow Faide. They switch the information (what does this mean?) and continue to TriCor’s London base under the guise of reporting for their new jobs. Shekinah escorts Faide to Sweden where they hope to recover a device that will lead them to its creator Alan Digget ALAN DIGGET. I thought we were going after Faide. She has Faide. Why do they need Digget?

With Agent Faide’s help, Shekinah recovers the device (What is it? No need to be coy. We need to know why it's important). It leads them to Russia where Alan Digget has been hiding out for years and he seems to know more (about?) than TriCor would like. Shekinah and her team whisk Digget off to a safehouse. Unwilling to be outdone once again, Faide tracks them using a reactivated device (is it a mind-control device?)that has been dormant in Stevven one of Shekinah’s team members for years. He kidnaps abducts Digget and takes him to TriCor.

Shekinah sneaks into TriCor and forces Faide to take her to Digget.  They find that Digget has been beaten so badly that his face is almost unrecognizable. Faide helps them escape and Shekinah and Digget meet up with Stevven and Deck her team, but she can’t shake the feeling that something bad is very close. (This is telling.)  She slips away to a small chapel to pray, not knowing that Faide has followed her. A tornado of light breaks through the chapel ceiling and engulfs Shekinah. At first there’s pain, but it doesn’t last long. As the light fades, she’s left on the floor exhausted, but when Faide finds her there’s something different about her and she smiles, something she’s never been able to do.

Outside the chapel, and all over London, shadow creatures appear in the sky like the door to another world has opened. When they learn that TriCor has taken Third’s former agents hostage, Faide helps Shekinah get back inside to rescue her people, but they are led into a trap and both captured. While Faide finds a way to alert Deck and Stevven to Shekinah’s danger, Shekinah is being tested and tortured because of this amazing power they claim she possesses. Shekinah releases her power and escapes, but not before Deck one of her teamis shot and killed.

Faide helps Shekinah from the building. With her newfound emotions, it’s hard for her to focus and handle the death of her friend. When they send a team back in, Deck’s body is gone. Faide promises to find out what’s happened to TriCor in exchange for asylum within Third’s rebuilding ranks.



This is a good start overall, but there's still room for some detail. Also, the end doesn't feel like an end to me. Maybe it's just me, but there doesn't feel like any resolution there.

Synopses are hard. Good luck!  Thumbs Up

My synopsis.  I know it's rough.  Help please.  lol

"Nightmares and migraines have plagued Shekinah her whole life, a side effect of the “condition” that prevents her from being able to feelfeeling any emotion.  And it’s this same condition that is the reason she is so good at being enables her to be such a good spya spy.  Raised by Third Enterprises and trained in the art of espionage her whole life, it’s the only one lifeshe knows.  When their biggest competitor, Trinity Corporations, buys out the company, Shekinah knows that only mitigating circumstances would have sparked such a drastic move.  She and her two partners, Deck K. and Stevven Dougal receive instructions to must stopstop TriCor agent Donald Faide from stealing information from their back- up computers.

Too late to stop the theft, Shekinah and her team follow Faide.  They switch the informationconfusing and continue to TriCor’s London base under the guise of reporting for their new jobs.   Shekinah escorts Faide to Sweden where they hope to recover a device that will lead them to its creator Alan Digget.Guising as a TriCor agent, Shekinah escorts Faide to Sweden in hopes to recover a device that leads them to its creator.

With Agent Faide’s help, Shekinah recovers the device.  It leads them to Russia where Alan Digget has been hiding out for years and he seems to know more than TriCor would like.  As hoped, it leads them to Russia, where they find the creator, ALAN DIGGET, who's been hiding from TriCor for years. (Just a try, but you can probably do it better)Shekinah and her team whisk Digget off to a safehouse.  Unwilling to be outdone once again, Oh, did Faide realize he'd been double-crossed?Faide tracks them using a reactivated device that has been dormant in in one of Shekinah's team members for years.  He kidnaps Digget and takes him to TriCor.

Shekinah sneaks into TriCor and forces Faide to take her to Digget. They find that Digget has been beaten so badly that his face is almost unrecognizable.  Faide helps them escape and theymeet up with Stevven and Deckher team, but she can’t shake the feeling that something bad is very closeI'd reword this - here's a great opportunity for some more voice Smiley.  She slips away to a small chapel to pray, not knowing that Faide has followed her.  A tornado of light breaks through the chapel ceiling and engulfs Shekinah.  At first there’s pain, but it doesn’t last long.  As the light fades, she’s left on the floor exhausted, but When Faide finds her there, she smiles - something she's never done before.when Faide finds her there’s something different about her and she smiles, something she’s never been able to do.

Outside the chapel, and all over London, shadow creatures appear in the sky like the door to another world has opened.  Has a door been opened?When they learn that TriCor has taken Third’s former agents hostage, Faide helps Shekinah get back inside to rescue her people, but they are led into a trap and both captured.  While Faide finds a way to alert the teamto Shekinah’s danger, Shekinah is being tested and tortured because of this amazing power they claim she possesses.  Shekinah releases her power and escapes, but not before Deck is shot and killed.How does her power enable her to do this? What power does she have?

Faide helps Shekinah escape the building.  With her new found emotions, it’s hard for her to focus and handle the death of her friend. When they send a team back in, Deck’s body is gone. Did he die? Faide promises to find out what’s happened to TriCor in exchange for asylum within Third’s rebuilding ranks."

You're on the right track. I agree with lexcade on the missing nice, rounded ending. I bet you're heading for a series (?), but this MS needs a definite 'one big crisis solved'.
You skipped over some details that we need to know: what is the device, where do the shadows come from and what happens to them... plus the stuff I mentioned above.

Good job, though! Synopsises are terrible things to write - tons worse than a query ;)
