Based on the top-selling comic of the same name, the TNT Original film WITCHBLADE is the story of a New York detective, Sara Pezzini, whose search for justice brings her in contact with an ancient, intelligent, living weapon so powerful it can battle Earth's darkest evil forces.

Synopsis

For thousands of years it has existed. An intelligent symbiotic weapon of incredible power. A living gauntlet that becomes one with its wearer. The Witchblade. Only women of unmatched strength of mind, body and will have ever successfully worn the Witchblade. Joan of Arc was one. Others have been both its master and its servant. But in all cases, the Witchblade has been used to cut a swath of blood and viscera through the ranks of previously insurmountable evil. And now, in the latter days of the 20th century, the Witchblade has allowed destiny and fate to seek out a new bearer of its power and its curse.

Sara Pezzini is a NYPD homicide cop. She's young, tough and smart, and possesses a razor-sharp beauty that she wields like a sword. She's earned her gold shield, but every day she must prove herself on the street, to her bosses and, ultimately, to herself. With a legendary cop father to live up to, Sara attacks her job with a vengeance. She battles a system that favors guilty over the innocent, sometimes, in her all-or-nothing quest to bring down the bad guys, almost going too far. While investigating her best friend's death, Sara's life, and what she has believed about her world and the forces at work within it, is radically changed forever. That night, fate brings Sara in contact with the Witchblade.

Unable to free herself from the Witchblade, Sara must learn to govern its power while simultaneously balancing her life and career as a police detective. But now that Sara possesses the Witchblade, her eyes are opened to a world of evil that goes far beyond just crime on the street. The darkness is countless layers deep, and Sara has no choice but to peel back each one and confront what awaits her.

Week in and week out, Sara Pezzini employs her skills as a police detective to fight crime, using the Witchblade to combat a much greater and frighteningly organized conspiracy of evil that threatens the very soul of humanity. As Sara tries to keep her secret, do her job and have some semblance of a life, she finds that her most formdiable adversary may be the Witchblade itself.
