Emmy winner Guy Pearce (Memento, Iron Man 3) is Jack Irish, the brooding antihero of Australian writer Peter Temple`s award-winning novels. Reeling in the wake of his wife`s murder, the former lawyer has reinvented himself as a part-time private investigator and full-time alcoholic, intent on drowning his demons. When an old client dies after leaving Jack several frantic voicemails, the PI realizes he can`t outrun or outdrink his past. Jack returns to the world that took everything away from him... a seedy place of lowlifes, corruption, violence, and retribution.

In these two feature-length mysteries, Bad Debts and Black Tide, Pearce delivers a "mesmerizing" performance (Daily Record, U.K.), imbuing Jack with world-weary gruffness and a dash of dark humor. As much as he tries to break away, the underworld is where he thrives... and the only place he can find redemption.
