Storyline
Although Jack Irish has a considerable number of friends, his family is scarce. His spouse was killed by a former client, and his father is merely a fading image on a football wall of fame in a local pub. Therefore, when Des Connors reaches out to Jack for assistance in locating his lost son, who is the last remaining connection to Jack’s father, Jack is eager to assist. However, sometimes wayward children disappear for a reason.
