Irish Blood

Matt Roush says...

“Mothers worry,” explains Fiona’s (Alicia Silverstone) mom, Mary (Wendy Crewson), upon her surprise arrival in Ireland from L.A. to check on her lawyer daughter, who’s been up to her neck in dangerous intrigue while investigating the mysterious death of her absentee dad Declan (Jason O’Mara). Mary’s concern increases when she spies Fiona’s murder wall: “It looks like complete insanity.” Both mother and daughter are surprised when Mary is warmly embraced by Declan’s Irish family, but when she meets an old friend who’s now a man of the cloth calling himself “Father Al” (Stuart Graham), Mary is swept off her feet, despite warnings that the good father may be up to no good. A missing hard drive that could shed light on Declan’s criminal ties adds to the mystery.
