Everything but the Music

Jeanie Colbert and her old flame Rodney Cornwall had built up their Record Company over several years and had become minor music celebrities as a result. However, having a reached a pinnacle of sorts, they decided to try and take it to the next level by releasing a different kind of album and by promoting it more robustly.

They had never staged shows before and so set up a tour in the hope of boosting sales of their new recording, and all went well at first. But by dividing her time between the music, taking on supporting talent and juggling two intimate love affairs, Jeanie finds that this is a recipe for disaster.

As it happened, both the current men in her life have their own agendas which conflicted somewhat with hers. One, her business partner, is a drug addict who was deeply in debt, and the other a monied man who wants to utilise her fame to gain a business advantage.

This draws in a third, powerful though immoral individual who jumps at the chance to try and use her to satisfy his unbridled desires. Not knowing what was about to happen, Jeanie attends a party and is partially drugged and mauled by this man who, it turns out, holds the future of her company to ransom.

It certainly seems as if he holds all the cards, but being the strong character she is, Jeanie tries to fight back and makes it known that she intends to bring this individual to book. Unfortunately, it unleashes a torrent of legal attacks and professional defamation as he tries to use the law to escape justice. It threatens the very stability of her little music label and her life!

To cap it all, a couple of low life criminals discover some tragic information about her past which they try to use to deceive her. Money is clearly their motive. It certainly appears that fame has a downside and can put the unwary in a very vulnerable position. Even the psychic she consults gets it wrong and doesn’t offer any clear guidance.

Trying to swim upstream, fight these battles and maintain some dignity isn’t easy. If only someone could step out of the shadows and offer a ready cure for her difficulties. But knights in shining armour are just the stuff of fable aren’t they? Or is there a handsome and charismatic man living in Los Angeles who can just click his fingers, solve her problems and make her fall in love with him all at the same time?
