在这部血域 第一季惊悚/犯罪片中,《血之地》由David Morrissey、Peter Capaldi、Jonas Armstrong和Jayd Johnson领衔主演，是一部黑暗惊悚的罪案剧。该剧基于Denise Mina的畅销小说改编，背景设在1982年，故事围绕着女主角，格拉斯哥某报社的一个一心渴望成为记者的年轻女雇员Paddy Meehan而展开。面对几乎由男性统治的新闻界，Paddy梦想成为一名调查记者，她相信有时候记者是误判者们唯一的希望。Paddy抓住了一个开启事业的契机，而后卷入了一起谋杀案中。对野心勃勃的Paddy而言，这是一个千载难逢的机会，但与此同时她也付出了沉重的代价。
Set in Glasgow in 1982, Paddy Meehan is a young girl in a world of men; a feisty copy boy in the sexist, hard-boozing, cutthroat world of journalism. Paddy dreams of being an investigative reporter, and she grabs the opportunity when a young boy, Brian Wilcox, is kidnapped and found murdered. Paddy sees connections to a year-old crime that nobody else sees and she is determined to make it her story. But when Paddy crosses the line, she becomes outcast from her devoutly Catholic family and puts the lives of her colleagues, as well as her own, at risk. The closer she gets to the murderer, the closer she gets to murder; and the price of achieving her dream will prove greater than she can ever imagine.
