The Ripple Effect

A politician tries to get back embarrassing love letters from his angry former lover, but his plan accidentally starts a series of problems that could destroy his life and hurt everyone close to him.

Emerson Maitland, who wants his district’s nomination for the House of Representatives, assures his party’s chairman that there are no scandals in his past. But Maitland is lying. A married man, he once had an affair with a younger woman to whom he wrote many passionate love letters. He hires a common thief to retrieve the letters, a move that sets in motion a rapid succession of events that results in three murders Maitland had no intention of committing.

In an attempt to recover several scandalous love letters from a bitter ex-mistress, a politician unwittingly sets off a chain of events that threaten to ruin his life, and the lives of those around him.
