OFFICIAL “BLOOD & TREASURE” TRAILER

FIND THE CLUES. UNLOCK THE SECRETS. JOIN THE HUNT.

BLOOD & TREASURE is a globe-trotting action-adventure drama about a brilliant antiquities’ expert and a cunning art thief who team up to catch a ruthless terrorist who funds his attacks through stolen treasure. Danny McNamara is a former FBI agent specializing in stolen arts and antiquities. Lexi Vaziri (Sofia Pernas) is a resourceful art thief who is haunted by the tragic loss of her father, which she blames on Danny. When terrorist Karim Farouk (Oded Fehr) absconds with a priceless artifact and kidnaps Danny’s mentor Dr. Anna Castillo (Alicia Coppola), Danny recruits Lexi to help him bring Farouk to justice and rescue Anna. As they chase down Farouk, they encounter unscrupulous individuals who may either be useful allies or dangerous enemies, including Aiden Shaw (Michael James Shaw), an arms dealer who acts solely in his self-interest, and Simon Hardwick (James Callis), an expert at procuring pilfered artifacts. Danny and Lexi are assisted by Father Chuck (Mark Gagliardi), a childhood friend of Danny’s who works at the Vatican Foreign Ministry in Rome. Their hunt draws the attention of Interpol agent Gwen Karlsson (Katia Winter), who wants Farouk brought to justice, but won’t allow Danny and Lexi to break international laws in the process.
