Mercy, Mercy
Meredith has given up everything to take care of her father, including a promising music career that now only exists in playing the organ at church. When she puts her father in a nursing home, Meredith is suddenly forced into a desperate financial situation. In order to keep up with the bills, she and her boyfriend begin killing the residents of the nursing home so she can play their funeral masses for extra cash. But the return of her estranged sister and the close relationship with her priest threatens Meredith’s perfect plan.
A black comedy about healthcare, family, and the lengths we will go to survive.
