Max Cohen je informatički genijalac s velikim talentom za matematiku kroz koju gleda i tumači cijeli život i događaje. Živi sam, štoviše, izrazito je asocijalan te se ne druži skoro ni s kim osim sa svojim kompjuterom koji je sam napravio te koji ima neslućene mogućnosti da analizira i predviđa kretanja na burzi dionica. Max nastoji pronaći numerološki princip po kojem se kreće vrijednost dionica te koji bi mu omogućio precizno predviđanje rasta ili pada dionica. Kako se približava rješenju tj. magičnom broju koji će otkriti mnoge tajne pa čak i religijske, Maxove glavobolje i priviđenja od kojih i inače pati, postaju sve jače i jače.
