Overview
Jack Irish is a television drama and crime series that follows the life of a man attempting to rebuild his existence after his world imploded. Formerly a criminal lawyer, the protagonist now works as a part-time investigator, debt collector, and apprentice cabinet maker. He is known for his ability to locate individuals who wish to remain hidden, whether they are living or deceased. While he spends his time assisting friends and attempting to distance himself from his history, he eventually finds that his past has caught up with him. In one instance, Jack is hired to find a missing person, only to be framed for that individual's murder.
