''[[Kindred: The Embraced]]'' is an obscure and short-lived supernatural drama produced by [[Aaron Spelling|Spelling Television]] and John Leekley Productions. The show was a loose live action adaptation of [[White Wolf]]'s popular [[Role Play|roleplaying]] game ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade]]'' and ran on [[FOX]] from April to May of 1996.
[[San Francisco]] police detective Frank Kohanek (C. Thomas Howell), suspects influential businessman Julian Luna (Mark Frankel) of being heavily connected to the mob and is deadset on bringing him in. While investigating the homicide of Julian's bodyguard on a lead from an anonymous tipster, Frank discovers, through the actions of his girlfriend Alexandra, the secret society of vampires, or "kindred" as they call themselves, that have taken up residence in the city. Unfortunately, kindred law states that telling a human about the existence of vampires is punishable by death. And Julian just so happens to be the leader, or "prince" of the kindred and the one responsible for carrying out that sentence. By the end of the 1st episode, the two men are at odds with each other, with Frank vowing to kill Julian for what he has done. Thankfully, [[Aborted Arc|the two get over it really quickly]] after the death of a mafia informant at the hands of Eddie Fiori ([[Brian Thompson]]), the traitorous leader or "primogen" of the Brujah clan. The two form a tentative alliance to take down Fiori and prevent a war between the 5 vampire clans.
