'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 protégé 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 Iris's desires lead them all to an unexpected and destructive final destiny.'
