A corrupt record producer steals hit songs from musicians in the future and uses them in the past to create musical legends out of nobodies.

sounds like an interesting concept.

Thanks for clarifying your story concept. The general outlines suggest the possibility of some compelling moral dilemmas for the singer -- and dilemmas are always a good thing in drama.

Best wishes with your idea.

She's in on the heist until she discovers, quite by accident, who the real artist is. She was cool with the plot when she thought it was just some nobody she'd never heard of and maybe hadn't even been born yet. Once she finds out it's her own daughter, who is obviously a legit talent, and when he refuses to stop ripping her off, she decides it's time to put a halt to it once and for all. She's not the first person he's turned into a star through these methods, so I guess that's the "everything". It's a vague statement. I'll work on tightening it.

What makes this time travel possible is a device called the Trinity (think iPod Touch, etc.). Video, audio, data. A portable multimedia player that dude shouldn't have his hands on but mistakenly got it while participating in a beta test of the product a few months before it was set to be released to the public. It is a one-of-a-kind product the manufacturer uses for their own purposes (which are made known in the story), and instead of a regular Trinity like every other beta tester received, he got this one by accident. It's got a really nifty "Go To..." feature that actually takes the person to the release date of the song chosen from the playlist.

Really appreciate your feedback. I'm already putting it to good use.
