The question "What is 'truth'?" is a question that Ralph McNeil, a down-to-earth engineering student, has never before had cause to ponder. But when he encounters a famous theorem (Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem) which poses a seemingly unsolvable puzzle about the very meaning of 'truth' itself, he becomes convinced against all the prevailing wisdom that the theorem must be wrong - despite the fact that it has been accepted as correct for over seventy-five years. He sets out on a journey to prove it wrong, a journey that becomes a quest to seek out the 'truth' about 'truth' itself. As he pursues his mission, we see into the heart and mind of Kurt Gödel, the enigmatic character who first posed the theorem - a man who won acclaim as the greatest logician of his time, but whose deep mystical convictions would eventually drive him to the brink of insanity. Fact and fiction, past and present are intertwined in a compelling story of love, intrigue, deception and death that leads to a startling conclusion that will change forever the way the world understands the concept of 'truth'.
