Plot Synopsis

Two San Francisco homicide detectives, Terry English and Hildy Mulligan, investigate the murder of an apparent drug addict in the city's Tenderloin District, and they find the victim is connected to Silicon Valley wunderkind Erich Blunt, the celebrated CEO of a cutting-edge tech firm. The timing couldn't be worse for Blunt, who is preparing to take his company public. He's also being sued by a software developer who claims Blunt stole his code for a revolutionary new hologram system. As the case opens, Terry struggles to focus at work, because his wife, Emily, is battling stage-four pancreatic cancer. Plus, as soon as the two detectives make some progress on the case, Blunt's beautiful flight attendant is found dead. MURDER IN THE FIRST follows this case for all 10 episodes of the first season, which premiered on Monday, June 9, 2014 at 10pm ET/PT on TNT. In the Season 1 finale, "Blunt the Edge," English and Mulligan are fully immersed in the tangled web of trying to solve the Kevin Neyers murder.

MURDER IN THE FIRST returned for its second season on Monday, June 8, 2015 at 10pm ET/PT on TNT. In Season 2, English and Mulligan investigate a series of murders that could rip the city apart and shake the police force at its core. Caught in the crosshairs during one of the most shocking crimes in the city's history, Mulligan, English and the men and women of 850 Bryant Street find themselves trapped in a crumbling system where the lines are blurred -- between friends and enemies, loyalty and corruption, legal and illegal, good and evil -- as a threat from outside is matched by a threat from within.

As their investigation becomes increasingly more complex, the Inspectors are faced with their own, personal tribulations, compounding the cascading pressures of the case. Meanwhile, the prolific DA of SF, Mario Siletti, has his pedal to the medal as he attempts to stay afloat after he and his wife are involved in a tragic car accident that could end his career and his marriage. And an untimely diagnosis threatens Hildy's future.
