What is the plot of Kin (TV series)? 

After a young boy is murdered, the Kinsellas, a local crime family in Dublin, seek vengeance, pitting them against an international cartel.

Their grief and rage and the enemies they’ve made as a result of their brutal campaign for revenge are just some of the challenges they must overcome to thrive and survive.  

With Kin Season 2 just around the corner, what can we expect from the new season after that gripping season 1 finale? 

The Kinsellas may have eliminated their biggest enemy, but they find out soon enough that troubles will always find a way to sneak in as insidiously as possible. Of course, resorting to all-out violence will always have lethal repercussions. This time, they have incurred the wrath of someone even more dangerous. 

The Kinsella family, while sharing an unbreakable bond, will also be plagued by suspicions, distrust, and loathing as they navigate the slippery slopes of the drug trade with new, bigger threats to face.
