A brilliant but asocial mathematician, plagued by crippling headaches and paranoia, is obsessed with uncovering the numerical pattern underlying all of existence. Living in a cluttered apartment filled with stacks of books and a homemade supercomputer, he delves deep into the realms of number theory, believing that everything in nature can be understood through numbers. His research leads him to theorize that there might be a predictable pattern in the stock market. As he begins to see the potential of his discovery, it becomes not just an obsession but a quest for universal truth that he believes is encrypted in the fabric of the world around him.

His pursuit of this ultimate pattern attracts unwanted attention from a Wall Street firm eager to use his findings for financial gain, and a secretive group that sees his work as the key to unlocking ancient spiritual mysteries. As he becomes more deeply entrenched in these conflicting worlds, the pressure mounts exponentially, exacerbating his physical and mental health issues. His quest for knowledge turns into a fight for survival, challenging his understanding of reality and pushing him to the edges of sanity and beyond. Torn between the allure of solving the greatest mystery and the risk of losing himself completely, he navigates a maze of danger and intrigue, questioning what is real and what is not in his relentless pursuit of truth.
