Emmy® winner Guy Pearce (Memento, Iron Man 3) returns as Jack Irish, the brooding, alcoholic Australian antihero of Peter Temple's award-winning crime novels. When a man he is hired to find is killed in front of him, Jack suspects a set-up, and the case spirals into an international conspiracy. Meanwhile, Jack's on-again, off-again girlfriend, journalist Linda Hillier (Marta Dusseldorp, A Place to Call Home) is in Manila following a story. Their cases eventually intertwine in a complex narrative brimming with dark humor and memorable characters.
