Jodie is a single mum who runs a hairdressing salon. One day at work, Jodie momentarily glances out of the window and in a split second her life descends into freefall.  What she notices seems innocuous - two men walking on the opposite side of the road - but she's actually witnessed a killer and his victim moments before he is murdered. When the police make an appeal, Jodie does the right thing and comes forward, believing her information to be of little consequence. She's surprised when detectives decide to keep her identity secret, referring to her as 'Witness No.3', and then it becomes clear why...

Kin charts the lives of the Kinsellas, a small but tight-knit crime family embroiled in a war against a powerful drug kingpin, Eamon Cunningham. A boy is killed and his family embark on a gangland war with an international cartel – a war that is impossible to win. It's David and Goliath. Out-numbered, out-financed and out-gunned, the Kinsellas find themselves holed up in their Dublin stronghold while their businesses fail, and family members and associates are picked off. But they have something the cartel does not: the unbreakable bonds of blood and family. Kin is a world where gangsters are treated like reality stars, with nicknames and celebrity status, where assassins dress up as women, and drug dealers keep exotic pets in their den. A world of drugs and guns and murder and loyalty and family and men…and a woman.
