Set in a stylized version of 1920s Sydney, The Tender Hook charts a young woman's rise to the apex of a love/power triangle. Femme fatal Iris (Rose Byrne), underworld figure Heath (Hugo Weaving) and aspiring boxer Art (Matt le Nevez) fight it out in the night clubs, dock sides and boxing rings of a wild Jazz Age Sydney. Within the flawed moral landscape, each character struggles to establish their sovereignty. Ultimately Iris' desires lead them all to an unexpected and destructive final destiny.
