Thriller
David Caine inhabits a world of obsession, rich rewards, and
rapid, destructive downfalls. A compulsive gambler and
brilliant mathematician prone to crippling epileptic
seizures, he possesses the uncanny ability to calculate odds
of any hand in the blink of an eye. But one night at an
underground poker club, Caine makes a costly miscalculation,
sending his life spinning out of control.
Desperate, he agrees to test an experimental drug with
unnerving side effects: inexplicable visions of the past,
present, and future. Unsure whether he's perceiving an
alternate reality or suffering a psychotic breakdown, Caine
embarks on a journey that stretches beyond the possible into
the world of the improbable. Gradually, he discovers the
extent of his astonishing new ability -- but powerful,
shadowy forces know Caine's secret. Now Caine must fight for
his survival -- and his sanity...
