In a world ruled by money and power, Philippa "Pippa" Browning "sings" her own song where love has the power to change lives. Hidden away in the IT department of Monroe Enterprises for the past seven years, Pippa is unexpectedly thrust into the role of interpreter for visiting Chinese business moguls. Immersed in the intrigue of multi-national high powered corporations, she draws from her childhood experiences amongst state department diplomats and her family's passion for world peace to shine her powerful light of love on the jaded and bitter world of corporate America. But a even beacon as strong as Pippa's needs tending, and when the trauma of her past threatens to snuff out her light, the people closest to her must step in to remind her that love still wins.

Inspired by Robert Browning's dramatic poem, Pippa Passes, The Pippa Effect presents a modern day re-telling of the timeless theme where one person's love and positive outlook forever changes the lives of people passing by.
