ACTS OF MERCY
Director/Screenwriter Laura C. Lopez’s new film “Acts of Mercy” pays homage to classic noir films and thrillers. Acts of Mercy unveils the story of young nurse Maggie Collins as she begins caring for the charming but forgotten residents of Moss Oak Manor nursing home. Slowly, Maggie finds herself on an ethical minefield where good intentions turn into ambition, and mercy finds its way into murder.
