Logline for "Confessions of a Sony Adman--Based on a True Story"

I'd be ever so grateful for your feedback on the following Logline for a feature screenplay I'm developing.

Logline: In 1985, a daring ad executive bets his career on a groundbreaking campaign for Sony's compact disc player featuring four superstars, including Stevie Wonder—none is under contract. As he navigates this impossible gamble, he grapples with the threat of his daughter losing her eyesight, adding personal stakes to igniting the digital music revolution that transforms Sony into an entertainment titan.
