Stay tuned for SFPD: Bloodline (coming 2026) to find out!

Will she be lost to the obsession and darkness that threatens to consume her?

Everything Vivian had fought to build over 21 years is on the brink of crumbling, but is Vivian Blackwood willing to risk it all for the answers she was denied as a young woman?

Throughout the story, Vivian battles secrets, her own trauma, the tragic weight of her past, shocking betrayals, as well as constant treats to her career, to her relationship with her friends and colleagues, to her life and to her reputation.

Instincts reeling from revelations during the current case, Vivian spirals and finds connections to her own tragic past she cannot ignore. Yet, she faces immense pushback from those closest to her, including her superior and mentor, Captain Reggie O’Malley.

In the summer of 2025, the brutal murder of a wealthy businessman unearths decades worth of ghosts and conspiracies, some of which many closest to Vivian fought for years to keep buried.

Vivian commands the SFPD Homicide department with a blend of compassion, protectiveness, quiet authority and an iron fist ruthlessly devoted to justice for victims and their families.

A testament to her resilience, Vivian fought for the respect of her peers, eventually landing the rank of Lieutenant at age 37, after a heroic act at the Crime Lab made her a hero to the force.

As she rose through the ranks, Vivian faced backlash, misogyny, underestimation and doubt at every turn, having every decision, every case, every promotion scrutinised by those outwith and within the force — from the media, to her own colleagues.

Her complicated relationship with a Narcotics Detective, and her partner Detective Rick Donovan, the tragedy of losing good officers, her obsessive devotion to victims.

Tragedy seems to follow Vivian everywhere she goes, and no good deed of hers appears to ever go unpunished:

In 2004, when Vivian was a rookie cop on the force, she experienced unimaginable tragedy that turned her entire world upside down. For 21 years, Vivian agonised over never having answers and simmering in the failure of the system she was a part of, the system she once admired.

SFPD: Bloodline follows the story of San Francisco Homicide Lieutenant Vivian Blackwood, age 42, who abandoned a wealthy and successful future in her family’s multi-million dollar law firm to join the police force.
