Cracks in the Ceiling
Estate agency partner Brian holds an annual office festive party, masking a dark secret - his wife has sold her soul to an ambitious surveyor to cover up her systematic embezzlement.
December, 2012. Brian, the senior partner of an estate agency in the London Suburbs, always arranges the Christmas party with the support of his devoted secretary, Mary. With Secret Santa, free booze, music and party games, Brian hopes to keep his Residential team happy for another year. Joyce, Brian’s wife, makes a deal with the devil to save the agency. Guy Stephens, an ambitious senior surveyor helps her to cover embezzlement of client funds, used to support her alcoholism and flamboyant lifestyle.
Following the party, disaster strikes. Brian remains stuck in 2012 whilst life moves on around him. Jane, a newly promoted sales negotiator comes up with a plan, not just to help the struggling agency, but to use Brian’s talents as a photographer to give his life meaning once more.
