Little Fish is about Tracy Heart (Cate Blanchett), a former heroin addict who is desperately trying to escape her past. Tracy lives in little Saigon area (Cabramatta) in Sydney, Australia and is in need of money to start her own business, but has to help her drug addicted step-father Lionel (Hugo Weaving) to kick his habit. After a four year absence in Vancouver, her former boyfriend Jonny Nguyen (Dustin Nguyen) has come back into her life. Jonny brings with him more complications when he formulates a drug deal with Tracy's brother, Ray, which ends in tragedy. Tracy's life seems to have been caught in a spider's web with no way out.
