Synopsis: In the fall of 1959, for a time capsule, students draw pictures of life as they imagine it will be in 50 years. Lucinda, an odd child who hears voices, swiftly writes a long string of numbers. In 2009, the capsule is opened; student Caleb Koestler gets Lucinda's "drawing" and his father John, an astrophysicist and grieving widower, takes a look. He discovers dates of disasters over the past 50 years with the number who died. Three dates remain, all coming soon. He investigates, learns of Lucinda, and looks for her family. He fears for his son, who's started to hear voices and who is visited by a silent stranger who shows him a vision of fire and destruction. What's going on?

A NOTE FROM THE COMPOSER

The first part in the film I worked on was where Nic Cage had a few drinks, he’s at his chalkboard and he’s writing down the numbers, we called it Numerology; he’s actually putting the pieces together. This branched out into many other areas. The idea behind this was a twelve tone row, twelve different notes because it’s not in any key; it has this randomness to it. The idea was to have all the notes line up together, when you play them all together you can’t tell what pitch it is, it just sounds like a chord of twelve notes together, there’s no structure to it. If you slowly space them out by each one coming a little bit later, then you end up with an actual twelve pitches and you have an order. From this disorder, from it just sounding like noise, from out of this random noise concept, you get order. That was the concept that spread into everything else.
