Maria catches Jack in bed with another woman. A judge's ruling is unprecedented and surreal, denying a divorce and forcing the two to remain together. Can two survive? Can there ever be forgiveness? Raising Mercy explores the life of a couple in crisis and the underestimated, significant, difficult attribute of Forgiveness. It begs the questions, "Can people really change?" "Is there always plenty to go around?" "Or is it always a deal breaker?" *Screenplay Nominee at the Monterey County Film Commission.
