Plot

Set in a stylised version of 1920s Sydney, THE TENDER HOOK tells the story of Iris (Rose Byrne), a beautiful young woman caught at the apex of a dangerous love triangle. Her English lover McHeath (Hugo Weaving), a rogue boxing promoter, suspects her involvement with his new young protege Art (Matt Le Nevez).

In a flawed moral landscape each struggles to retain their personal sovereignty as McHeath is provoked to acts of jealousy and violence. Ultimately Iriss desires lead them all to an unexpected and destructive final destiny.
