Set in London, the story revolves around Maximatic, a company specializing in mathematical and computer-based methods for increasing client profits. Its owner, Jonathan Everett, struggles financially when his partner decides to risk a significant sum of money, believing that data analysis and probability can predict the outcomes of games of chance. As events unfold, the seemingly rational project develops into a dangerous obsession, and the search for the mathematical formula for winning leads to a series of dramatic events, including a double murder. The play combines a classic whodunit plot with a reflection on the boundaries of science, chance, and human greed.
