A tense family mystery built on accumulated secrets and doubt, where a mother's death becomes the catalyst for unraveling decades of buried betrayals.

Cat Hogan returns to West Meath upon her mother's sudden death - she has an accident at home and died (or was it an accident?). Blood is about old secrets, older betrayals, mind games and the lies family tell each other.
