In Prime Target, Edward Brooks (Leo Woodall) is a brilliant young postgraduate mathematician at Cambridge. Praised by maths professors, he appears to have the best mind they have come across in 30 years of teaching. He works into the night, frantically scribbling algebra and equations in his notebooks
Ed is obsessed with prime numbers. He thinks they are the answer to everything. He believes he is on the brink of something major when his supervisor, Robert Mallinder (David Morrissey) warns him off from continuing is research. The discovery Ed is striving for maybe more dangerous and therefore a concern to certain organisations.
The world’s greatest mind has become the most wanted.
The race to keep Ed safe and finish his work could change the world as we know it. The plot thickens with the discovery of a long lost ninth-century underground chamber in Iraq that may be the site of the greatest library ever created.
