A woman returns to her Irish hometown upon her mother's sudden death after a decade spent trying to escape her roots.
The official line is that she suffered an accident at home and died, but the estranged Cat Hogan is not convinced. She begins to suspect her father Jim and so the drama unfolds...
Blood explores the Hogan family history, old secrets, older betrayals, mind games and the lies family tell each other in a bid to find out the truth.
Season 2 picks up directly from the events of season 1.

The first season was released to an excellent reception, hence season 2 being made swiftly after.
Dunbar will be a major draw for Line of Duty fans, and if the show's creators can keep him tied down, there's no reason a third season isn't a possibility.
Season 3 is yet to be confirmed, but if the second run of the show continues to build momentum, fans could be treated to more tense drama from West Meath.
