Hooked on a Ceiling

After finding the body of their housemate hanging in the garage, four friends set out to discover the reason behind his suicide. They soon build up a picture of an Oxford City Council solicitor overwhelmed by his dealings with local councillors, national politicians and even, perhaps, the CIA. Compelled by the memory of their dead friend, the team decide to engage the enemy. After all, when a friend has hooked himself to the ceiling, you want to know why. Or do you?
