Matching Jack
At the same time Marisa Hagen (Jacinda Barrett) discovers that her child (Tom Russell) is seriously ill, she also finds out that her husband (Richard Roxburgh) has been unfaithful for years. Marisa goes on a bizarre search in an attempt to turn her husband's serial affairs into a positive - an illegitimate child could save her son's life. A chance encounter with another parent, Connor (James Nesbitt) and his son Finn (Kodi Smit-McPhee), leads them on an unpredictable journey of love and hope. Emotional drama, from award winning director Nadia Tass ('Malcolm', 'Amy'), about the unbreakable bond between parent and child.
