The Boys Are Back in Town tells the story of Joe (Clive Owen) - a dry, cynical British sports journalist who is never short of a quip. He lives the ideal ex-pat lifestyle in far north Queensland with his beautiful Australian wife Katy and their son Artie. When Katy suddenly dies, Joe is left to his own devices with his small son.
