Ripples is an introspective/action film about the pressures of not being the best at a certain discipline, using skipping stones as a metaphorical picture of the connections and influences of humans rippling off each other. Kain, a talented taekwondo student and the son of Master Choi, is suddenly met with competition when a new, evenly-matched student, Parker. As Kain tries to compete for the top spot at his dojo, he discovers the consequences of an unhealthy work-life balance with his friends, family, and mental health.
