What Is Irish Blood About?
Irish Blood follows Fiona Sharpe (Alicia Silverstone), a successful divorce attorney who receives a cryptic package from her long-lost father, Declan Murphy (Jason O’Mara). The message leads her to Ireland, where she discovers her father is dead—and his death may not have been an accident.
Fiona uncovers shocking truths about her family, including that her father’s abandonment was a lie meant to protect her. As she digs deeper, she faces danger, hidden crimes, and a family that never knew she existed. The show blends mystery, crime, and emotional drama set against Ireland’s rugged landscapes.
