Finding Mercy

Mercy Bohorquez, an ambitious preteen born in Montreal to Colombian parents Andrea and Luis, and has a close relationship to older sister Luz, whom she idolises. Her idyllic life is thrown into chaos after her father is charged with drunk driving; a car crash that causes significant damage to a historical landmark and leaves Luz with a debilitating concussion. Her family soon become outcasts and rather than face a lengthy trial, they accept to be repatriated to Colombia. Mercy stays behind in Montreal for what is meant to be a short time with family friends, The Philipps family, and watches from a distance as her parents bitterly fight to win back everything they’d worked for, and with it, their standing in the community.
