From the heights of notoriety to the depths of depravity, John Forbes Nash Jr. experiences it all.

But as the handsome and arrogant Nash accepts secret work in cryptography, he becomes entangled in a mysterious conspiracy. His life takes a nightmarish turn and he soon finds himself on a painful and harrowing journey of self-discovery.
