"Patterns exist everywhere: in nature, in science, in religion, in
business. Max Cohen (played hauntingly by Sean Gullette) is a
mathematician searching for these patterns in everything. Yet, he's
not the only one, and everyone from Wall Street investors, looking to
break the market, to Hasidic Jews, searching for the 216-digit number
that reveals the true name of God, are trying to get their hands on
Max."

"Max's assumptions - everything in the universe can be represented and
understood in terms of numbers. And if those numbers are graphed,
patterns emerge. Therefore, Max is searching for an underlying
pattern in the complexity of the universe itself! He is interested in
finding a pattern that will allow him to predict the wax and wane of
stock markets.
Unfortunately things don't work out quite as he expected. One day his
computer outputs stock market predictions that seem impossible, and
then it spits out a long string of seemingly random numbers. And
then, it crashes.
But later Max realises that the predictions were right. And that
number may have a larger significance. His mentor, Sol (Mark
Margolis) ran into the same 216-digit number during his years of
research on Pi (which he stopped researching because of a stroke).
There is Marcy Dawson (Pamela Hart) - from a sinister business firm
who is after his research - because they are using it to control the
global stock markets! As a result of their tampering, the stock
markets worldwide are crashing, and they will do anything to get their
hands on that number. A Jewish religious group also believe that the
216-digit number is the true name of God, and they want the number
too."
