There are two main areas where you can excel at in a story.
Originality/Creativity
Writing style/skill
AT LEAST one of those has to be good for the story to be entertaining. A good creative plot with weak writing is manageable, and still rewarding to read. A weak, cliche plot with good writing is still fun to read. Both makes for a great story.
By giving us the basic plot, you only fulfill a small part of that. We don't know how bad the storyline will end up being once you get into it, and we don't know how good of a writer you are. So, we can't yet make any judgments about whether or not this will be a good story. Start writing it. After the first chapter we can deem if it's good or not, and if it's not we can help make it better.
