A few months after his wife and daughter die in a car accident, John Morrison is made redundant and commits suicide.. His suicide provokes protests and Jack Docherty, the man who made John redundant, is kidnapped and held responsible for John's death. The kidnappers use sensory deprivation to induce the same emptiness in Jack that drove John to suicide. But the reason for John's suicide may not be as simple as it appears - there are other people who may be equally or more responsible for his death.
