Twenty-five year old Catherine has spent years caring for her father Robert, a university professor, as he teetered between mathematical genius & mental illness. Catherine struggles to remain in control of her life and emotions as she connects with her father’s former students Hal, and confronts the sudden reappearance of her estranged sister Claire. Tensions mount and secrets are revealed as a notebook containing a revelatory mathematical proof is discovered in Robert’s office. Catherine is pushed to the brink as she works to prove authorship & authenticity of the proof and faces the terrifying possibility that she inherited more from her father than his mathematical brilliance.
