Introduction

A young man is found collapsed backwards over his bed still fully clothed from the previous day. His housemates, Catherine and Martin, cannot rouse him. They know he should have been at work some time ago but they walk away. Catherine goes to work. Martin has a cup of tea and goes back to bed. About forty-five minutes later, Catherine telephones and asks Martin to check on Billy. Billy is dead. An ambulance was only four minutes away.

About Billy

His grieving family are confronted with nightmarish years of searching for answers. Obstacles and diversions seem to face them at every turn as they ask what really happened to Billy, and why was his death never seriously investigated?
