What is Irish Blood about?
According to Acorn TV, this six-part murder mystery focuses on “Fiona (Silverstone), whose path in life is earmarked by her father, Declan (O’Mara), who seemingly abandoned her and her mother on her tenth birthday. After years of channeling anger toward him, to the benefit of her litigious clients, a message from her father sends her to Ireland. There she learns key truths about her father as well as a family that doesn’t know she exists, and, moreover, that the story of abandonment that has shaped her entire life – was a lie. A lie intended to protect her and her mother from her father’s shady business dealings. Fiona resolves to uncover the full truth about her father and reconnect with the parent she only thought she knew.”
Is there an Irish Blood trailer?
Yes, and you can watch it above. It details how Fiona goes to Ireland after 30 years of no word from her father for answers about why he left. She then finds out about his massive debt (to very dangerous men) and discovers a video of her father on a phone. “If anything happens to me, it was not an accident,” he says.
Watch the full trailer for more from her investigation and her father’s secrets and a potential romance.
