When math prodigy Ben cracks an ancient, real-life riddle central to modern data encryption systems, he suddenly holds the power to unlock every electronic secret in the world. His friend Smiles hatches a plan to protect Ben from the government agents who will stop at nothing to get their hands on his discovery. But as he races from a Connecticut casino to the streets of Boston, Smiles comes to realize the most explosive secrets don't lie between the covers of Ben's notebook-- they're buried in his own past.
