Mercury

The real story is how they get the headlines!

In the frenzied, ego-driven world of the Sunday Mercury, the journalists who investigate the stories have almost as much to hide as their sources. The pressure is on to be first with a hot story and these reporters will do anything for an exclusive scoop - and never lose sleep over their actions.


They will go anywhere to find that elusive lead, from the seediest neighborhoods to the smokiest political backrooms.


From his desk in the Editor's office, Bill Wyatt (Goeffrey Rush, Shine) surveys his team as they navigate the outmost edges of ethics with the jaundiced eye of one who has done his share of jockeying for a lead. Never knowing where the next hot tip may come from, his reporters hit the streets in pursuit of the government scandal, the hushed up crime and the heart wrenching everyday heroics. It's all part of their relentless quest for the ultimate prize: a bold byline splashed across the front page of the Sunday Mercury.
