SYNOPSIS

Mercy Peak is home to a cast of colourful, quirky and – above all – complex characters: William, the tenacious head doctor; his son, Alistair, living in the shadow of his father; Louise, the calm centre of the hospital whose personal life is a mess; and Ken, the amiable cop with a penchant for sci-fi and no luck in love.

Their stories are the heart of Mercy Peak: Their triumphs, their failings, their foibles and – above all - their passions. And Nicky finds romance – first with social worker Cliff Tairoa, then with the all-too-attached vintner Kieran Masefield.

Mercy Peak is about the search for love, forgiveness and mercy, about discovering that the world can be good or bad but that there is always hope and humour.
