Imagine stumbling upon this most profound thought when you realize that today was the best day of your life. Well, it happened to Mercer Redding once upon a time, but life has since been on a descent for the former self-proclaimed luckiest guy in the world, who’s now back home and alone in New York City. The pain of Mercer’s past is framed within the context of the life and death of his lost love Carmen, who five years ago left a tear-soaked Mercer with a vision of unconditional love until her last breath was spoken with her eyes wide open. 

 

Embarking on a cross-country road trip as a method to cope, it isn’t long until Mercer’s adventure culminates in the ultimate epiphany, capped by a romantic miracle that brings closure to the hardest chapter of his life. However, when he senses his old demons advancing soon after, Mercer realizes the miracle has offered his mind a gift out of the realm of science fiction – one that he must learn to master if he is to continue driving happily ever after. By the time he learns to successfully apply mind over matter, Mercer finds himself to be amidst a new paradigm that seems uncannily familiar – give or take a little deja vu along the way. 

​

The late poet Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not”, which is precisely what Mercer accomplishes while accidentally discovering so much more. Come along with me and my cast of characters on a cross-country road trip where the magic of movement traverses not only the miles but also darkness, light, and love to reveal the common journey that we all share together.
