Jack Irish Season 2 Plot
In Jack Irish Season 2, after Eddie, a Chinese courier who was supposed to deliver a package for Jack three years ago, shows up dead, Jack can’t help but get involved.
Following the trail of Eddie’s last movements, Jack discovers Eddie’s friend, an Indian student named Lakshmi, committed suicide shortly before Eddie disappeared three years ago. They studied together at a private college called the Meritus Institute for Higher Learning – where the facilities and level of education leave much to be desired. The Institute takes advantage of international students desperate for a Western education and charges them exorbitant fees for the opportunity.
Digging deeper on Eddie and Lakshmi, Jack encounters the psychiatrist Lakshmi saw before her tragic death, Dr Rory Finch. As they both work to discover the truth behind the two deaths, a relationship brews between Jack and Rory, whose marriage to her husband is a sham maintained only for the sake of their children.
Jack’s investigation unfolds an intricate web of lies leading all the way to India and back again, where he enlists the help of old flame, Linda, still working overseas as a journalist and living with Orton. But every step Jack takes towards the truth threatens his world and his friends – from Harry and Cam in the racing game, to cabinetmaker Charlie Taub’s granddaughter, Gus, to the Prince of Prussia run by Stan and his regular clientele, the Fitzroy Youth Club.
