What would you do for someone you love? Would you lie? Would you leave? Would you kill? These are just some of the questions confronting the characters in 'Mercy', which follows the paths of two cousins driven to extremes by the power of love.
Cameron McDonald has spent his life guided by duty - as the police chief of a small Massachusetts town that has been home to generations of his Scottish clan; he is bound to the town's residents by blood and honour. Yet when his cousin Jamie arrives at the police station with the body of his wife and the bald confession that he's killed her, Cam immediately places him under arrest.
