- Most men hold their head high, put their backs to the wall and do what they must do to give their family what they want.
[edit] Plot
In A Man's Gotta Do, Eddy, (John Howard), lives with his wife, Yvonne, (Rebecca Frith), and their daughter, Chantelle, (Alyssa McClelland), in a new suburb in the Illawarra part, south of Sydney.
Eddy is a fisherman by day, but by night he works as a standover man, literally a toe-cutter. Dominic, (Gyton Grantley), is his new offsider.
Chantelle is upset because her fiancé, Rudi, a Russian air conditioning specialist, has disappeared. Did her Dad have something to do with it?
The frustrated Yvonne begins flirting with Paul, the plumber, (Rohan Nicol). Eddy encourages Dominic to read his daughter's diary thinking that's the way to get a better understanding of her needs.
