Based on the novels by Tanya Huff, this show revolves around PI Vicki Nelson - formerly a detective with the Metropolitan Toronto Police. She was losing her sight, but quit the force rather than accept a desk job. However, her last case turns out to be a doozy, involving vampires and the supernatural. She decides to team up with a vampire named Henry and ex-lover Mike Celluci to battle the forces of evil both normal and paranormal.

Shot in Canada (and set to debut on Canadian TV later this year), "Blood Ties" stars Christina Cox ("The Chronicles of Riddick") as cop-turned-private investigator Vicki Nelson, who witnesses a murder that she believes to be the work of a serial killer. After the victim's girlfriend (Gina Holden, "Reunion") hires her, though, she comes to believe that the killer might not be entirely of this world.

Vicki's investigation leads her to a vampire named Henry (Kyle Schmid, "Beautiful People"), who's an illegitimate son of Henry VIII, who becomes her partner both professionally and romantically. That doesn't sit will with Vicki's ex (Dylan Neal, "Dawson's Creek"), who's also working the case.

Peter Mohan ("Mutant X") created "Blood Ties" and executive produces with Kirk Shaw, Randy Zalken and Marshall Kesten. - From TV.com
