In a not-so-distant urban New Zealand city, the ancient traditions of the Māori people clash with the violent underbelly of modern gang warfare. Blood Lines follows the intertwined destinies of two warriors—Rangi, a fierce fighter marked by a sacred tā moko, and Marama, a fearless woman with a haunted past. Both are members of the Nga Tama Toa, a modern-day Māori brotherhood seeking to reclaim their ancestral power while defending their community from exploitation and corruption.
The story begins with the brutal murder of a tribal elder, an act that threatens to dismantle the fragile peace between rival groups. Rangi, haunted by visions of his ancestors, takes up the mantle of leadership, vowing to avenge the loss and protect the tribe’s honor. Marama, once a soldier who walked away from violence, is drawn back into the fold to help uncover the truth behind the betrayal.
As tensions escalate, the duo navigates a brutal world of drug lords, corrupt officials, and rival gangs encroaching on their territory. With every step, they must balance ancient warrior codes with the harsh realities of urban survival. Along the way, flashbacks reveal their troubled childhoods and how their fates have always been connected by blood, loss, and resilience.
When the truth is finally revealed—that a high-ranking member of their own brotherhood orchestrated the murder for power—Rangi and Marama must choose between blind loyalty and justice. In a climactic battle blending haka rituals, hand-to-hand combat, and spiritual reckoning, they fight not only for survival but for the soul of their culture.
Blood Lines is a gripping action-drama that weaves Māori heritage into a contemporary crime saga, blending cultural pride, vengeance, and redemption in a story where identity is both a weapon and a salvation.
